[Tutor] Generalising system processes

[Peter Jessop]

Good day.

Is there a library in Python that generalises the display of processes
in the system.
I am looking for a consistent way of seeing processess, (a python
equivalent of ps(unix) or tasklist (windows).

I have googled but the only suggestion I have found was to install ps
on Windows.

Thanks

On Windows, you can probably use ctypes module to call
CreateToolhelp32Snapshot()

I have not tried this in Python, though.
