[Barnaby Scott] | So I'm thinking along these lines: | | import subprocess | sp = subprocess.Popen(r'C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\runas.exe | /user:administrator | C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\aom.exe') | #some sort of code to send the password here... | #help!
I *think* -- and I'm happy to be wrong -- that there's no way you're going to get that password in there. One place to start looking might be: pywinauto - http://pywinauto.pbwiki.com/ which lets you automate Windows in general; don't know how much use it'll be here. Alternatively, look into the pywin32 package, and in particular at the win32security functions which let you impersonate another user. They're not trivial to use, but their use has been explained a few times over the years I think. Mostly by Roger Upole who wrote most if not all of the Python bindings. Here's a post which looks useful; you'll have to hunt around for others: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/6bbefb9d4d45d253 I suggest you ask this question again on the main python / python-win32 lists; it's a bit too platform-specific for the tutor list, I would say.
