Can you show an example for Windows please? I could not to get results with "-h" in my Windows 8:

For example: I want to send commands to Electrum via TCP from my script running on the same machine where Electrum is. If i launch the Python version, can i achieve this? Is the Python version also a daemon ? P.S. I have Electrum for Windows, do i need Linux for that?

electrum has a json rpc interface but it isn't well documented. i think it's mostly the commands you see when you type electrum help except you send them to the electrum daemon. and yes electrum help doesn't work on windows.
