Is there a way to make a Python console application flash in the taskbar in Windows?

This is the simplest solution I could come up with:

import ctypesctypes.windll.user32.FlashWindow(ctypes.windll.kernel32.GetConsoleWindow(), True )

python windows taskbar

Flashing the taskbar in Windows is accomplished using the FlashWindowEx API function (Python API help).

I haven't tried this myself, but it should be possible to call this function from Python using PyWin32 (Python for Windows extensions) that can either by installed manually or by installing ActivePython.

python windows taskbar

Would this work?http://docs.activestate.com/activepython/2.4/pywin32/win32gui__FlashWindow_meth.html
