I don't have the time to fully translate the JScript version either, but
here is the core functionality:

####
import sys, win32com.client

wmiService =
win32com.client.GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate,(Debug)}
")
for arg in sys.argv:
    processes = wmiService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process where
name='%s'" % arg)
    for process in processes:
        try: process.terminate()
        except: continue
####
