Kill a named process in win2K not spawned by python

[PoulsenL at capanalysis.com]

Can someone give me a clue how to rewrite this kludgy workaround in python?

import os
from win32pdhutil import * 
pid = FindPerformanceAttributesByName("WINWORD")[0]
os.system("C:\CMDUtils\kill " + str(pid))

Thanks,

Loren Poulsen
