[python-win32] Any way to get PyHANDLE for any running process?

I am having a problem of a process not closing when it should, actually 
stemming from IE's COM object, and it prevents me from creating another 
IE COM object.  I would like to have some way to check if IEXPLORE.EXE 
is already running, and if so, then kill it.

I noticed win32process.TerminateProcess(), but it wants a PyHANDLE and I 
can't figure out how to create one for any process other than the 
currently running one.

Any help on this would be great.  Already sick of doing it manually 
through the Task Manager.
