 From gmane.comp.python.wxpython - list I got a hint:

So I tried to get the process-id. A look into th e win32 
extensions showed me a chapter of how to do it with a COM 
server. I took the code:


 >>> object='process'
 >>> junk, instances = 
win32pdh.EnumObjectItems(None,None,object,win32pdh.PERF_DETAIL_WIZARD)

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<input>", line 1, in ?
error: (-1073738824, 'EnumObjectItems for buffer size', 'No 
error message is available')

Have I overlook something ?? (I'm using XP Home)

Thanks a lot for comments
