How to get memory usage on Windows?

[GerritM]

Searching in books , documentation (a.o. win32api) and net did not yet help
I found this article on the net:
http://www.developeriq.com/Magazinestories/02jul29memory.php3
but how to call this function from Python?

The module GC is mentioned with respect to memory leaks, but as far a I
could find, no status information can be obtained.

I would expect that in the run time information the size information is
present. Can this be accessed from Python itself?

regards Gerrit
