selenium webdriver sendkeys() using python and firefox

Question

I am using selenium 2.25.0, firefox 3 and python 2.6.6. I am trying to run a selenium function which uses sendkeys():

Answer 1

Use following as a work around I think It may work.

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
elem = driver.find_element_by_name('j_username')
elem.clear()
app = Application.Application()
app.window_(title_re='*.Firefox.*').TypeKeys('username')

Last two lines are in Python(pyWinauto)
