You can interact with a Windows application using pywinauto (http://
pywinauto.openqa.org/).

Sounds like a fun little project - good luck!

pywinauto looks to be almost perfect. All I need now is to read the
numbers uncovered when a minesweeper square is clicked on, or that I
just hit a mine.

Did you actually try it? Though skeptical, I did, briefly, until I
decided that it probably should have been dated April 1. There is no way
to enter text into minesweeper, nor to make it full screen, nor, as far
as I know, for it to toggle pixels outside its window.
