Can't claim to be an expert here, but WMI can give you
 quite a lot of info about processes. Get hold of the
 wmi module from http://tgolden.sc.sabren.com/python/wmi.html
 and try something like the following:

<code>
import wmi

computer = wmi.WMI ()
for process in computer.Win32_Process ():
  print process
</code>

This will list various attributes of all the processes
 currently running on the local computer. You can
 specify a remote computer in the WMI constructor,
 and/or can keep track of when processes are started
 or stopped or go over a certain limit etc.

HTH.
