Getting focused window of another app

Anyone know how to get the caption of the window currently in focus in
whatever app is in use? If I am using Excel, for example, I want my
python app to know that Excel is currently being used.

Never mind ...
wHnd = win32gui.GetForegroundWindow()
Caption = win32gui.GetWindowText (wHnd)
