multiprocessing and process run time

[Thomas Robitaille]

Hi,

I'm making use of the multiprocessing module, and I was wondering if there
is an easy way to find out how long a given process has been running for.
For example, if I do

import multiprocessing as mp
import time

def time_waster():
    time.sleep(1000)

p = mp.Process(target=time_waster)

p.start()

Is there a way that I can then find how long p has been running for? I
figured I can use p.pid to get the PID of the process, but I'm not sure
where to go from there. Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks,

Thomas
