There seem to be a number of winguiauto(s) available on the net. Is
there any 'offical' version?

More official than the author's own site?

You'll have to give me a bit of slack as I'm new to python. Much
python development seems to be hosted on sourceforge. There are a
couple of copies there with a number of modifications that seem to
center on waiting for windows to exist. There is also the copy on
Brunning's site without these modifications. I'm new to this, so I'm
just asking as it's a bit unclear.

Unless those other copies have stripped out Brunning's name, I doubt you
can call them "official" in any way. On the other hand, you probably
didn't really mean "official" but rather "what's the best one to use".
If that's the case, I can't help you as I haven't looked at those
modifications.

Is there a mailing list associated with any of those projects or with
the original, where you could ask? For questions about very specific
packages like this, a mailing list is often a better place to ask than
the more general comp.lang.python.

Official? Hmm, dunno. ;-)

The version from my site is a bit old. I've escaped Windows now, so
I'm not doing any work on Windows automation any more, but others are
taking it forward. You might look at
<http://www.tizmoi.net/watsup/intro.html> or
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywinauto>.

Thanks Simon. I looked at the other two and ended up using your
version unmodified as the changes in watsup and pywinauto dealt with
things unique to their needs. Your code still addresses basic needs
and rather well at that.
