Hi Asif,


There is a module in SciPy (scipy1.proc) that does it for Linux:

http://www.scipy.org/cvs/viewcvs/map?rmurl=http%3A//scipy.net/cgi-bin/viewcvsx.cgi/scipy1/proc.py%3Frev%3DHEAD%26content-type%3Dtext/vnd.viewcvs-markup

There's another for Windows:

A strong need for unification exists that has not been filled yet.  At the
moment, I can't find a single Python module that tries to abstract the
process handling of different architectures as Perl's Proc::ProcessTable.
And people have asked for it before:

Hope this helps!
