hello,
I wonder if there's a fast way to test if a process is running.
these are my experiences till so far:
1. win32pdh, not usefull, because it shows ths status of some ancient history
2. wmi, VERY SLOW: 1500 .. 2000 msec
import wmi
w = wmi.WMI()
processes = w.instances('Win32_Pro

You are not using the WMI efficiently. You iterate over every process to
test if only one is there, when you can use WMI like so:
>>> import wmi
>>> x = wmi.WMI()
>>> x.query("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'xchat.exe'")
[<_wmi_object: \\TOM-PC\root\cimv2:Win32_Process.Handle="7052">]

thanks,

Python-Win32...
As in win32
As in windows...

Subject: Re: [python-win32] fast test if (unknown) process is running ? Why not
use Autoi
While trying to go through the tutorial in the official python
documentation, I'm encountering a problem on Windows(ubuntu/linux
compiles the same test file fine)
I'm just using a 'dummy' function at this point, so no other errors are thrown:
#include "c:\\Python31\\include\\Python.h"
int main()
