wxPython allows you to build a GUI, not manipulate pre-existing GUIs
(unless they are written in wxPython). On Windows there exists a tool
written in Python that should be able to do what you are describing (as
long as the text widget is native). It is called winGuiAuto.py, and was
written by Simon Brunning. The blog posts discussing it start here:
