As I understand it, the WMI module relies on the win32 modules, but it's a nice wrapper.

Re: enumerating processes
I believe you are looking for os.getpid() I apologize for providing that bit of incorrect info. It looks to me as if Python 1.5 had os.process which might have done what you wanted (although perhaps not in an OS-independent way). I wonder why there isn't an OS-independent way to do that in Python now. After having seen your message about tomcat.exe, I assume we are talking just about Windows. ;-) This looks like an excellent way to deal with processes on Windows: # http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi_cookbook.html#running_processes # List all running processes import wmi c = wmi.WMI () for process in c.Win32_Process (): print process.ProcessId, process.Name # List all running notepad processes import wmi c = wmi.WMI () for process in c.Win32_Process (name=notepad.exe): print process.ProcessId, process.Name # Create and then destroy a new notepad process import wmi c = wmi.WMI () process_id, return_value = c.Win32_Process.Create (CommandLine=notepad.exe) for process in c.Win32_Process (ProcessId=process_id): print process.ProcessId, process.Name result = process.Terminate () 李现民 wrote: hi ,all any one knows how to enumerate the current running processes , or how to obtain a specific process by its name or process id.

Re: enumerating processes
thanks for your help, but that is not what I am looking for. My question is: I need to determine whether another process is running now ---in my problem, that is 'tomcat5.exe' ---that determines what should I do next. thanks !
