[python-win32] Technique to limit number of instances of our application under Terminal Server

I'm looking for simple ways to monitor and limit the number of
instances of our Python application that gets run on our in-house
Terminal Servers (2003 and 2008).
The purpose of this restriction is to make sure we don't overload
our servers. This is an internal administrative requirement - I
am not looking for a licensing solution.
Background: The application in question is written in Python 2.6
(32-bit). Our Terminal Server environments are used for testing
and it is not uncommon for the test builds of our application to
lock up or abort abnormally. Please consider these non-typical
circumstances when suggesting a solution :)

Thank you,
Malcolm
