You need to send a pointer to a list of four 32-bit integers. If it
were me, I'd use the struct module to convert the coordinates to a
string, and send the string.
import struct
rect = struct.pack('4I', 0, 0, 100, 100)
win32api.SendMessage(hndl, win32con.WM_SIZING, win32con.WMSZ_BOTTOM,
rect )
However, there are issues here. You are supposed to send the screen
coordinates of the point that is being dragged. In this case, that
would be a point along the bottom edge of the window. Further, to clear
this "sizing in progress" mode, you need to send a WM_SIZE, where you'll
need to send the size of the window. So, there may be more to this than
you think.
It should be fun to experiment, however.
