Could you capture the output by adding somelogfile to the passed args ? It appears cmd.exe isn't used. I probably could use COMSPEC as the command, but then I'd be likely to get 'cmd.exe' instead of 'python.exe' (which would be much worse) and I'm really not sure its worth it for

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but here goes. I would like to monitor system wide window messages to see when windows are created/destroyed. The reason being I am writing a small app that will reposition windows automatically. I thought of a couple of different approaches.

Tim, thank you for your response. I'm looking at pyAA and they don't have an installer for python 2.5. They've got one for 2.4, so I tried to install it, and it exited telling me it requires 2.4. So I extracted the files out of the installer and put them my site-packages directory. However, I get
