[python-win32] Getting PID of process launched by Dispatch

Hello,

I use automation to convert Word documents to other formats.
Sometimes, Word has problems with some corrupted documents, and loops
until I kill it.
I'd like to kill it automatically from my program, but I need to get the
Word Process ID first. I launch Word the traditional way you all know:

app = win32com.client.DispatchEx('Word.Application')

Now is it possible to get winword.exe PID from the "app" variable ?

Regards,
