[python-win32] win32pdh problems

Well, assuming that all you want is a PID (or a list of them)
for a given application name, you can do it with WMI. I don't
know if it will cause the same kind of problems you saw above,
but I don't see why it should:

(uses wmi module from http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi.html)

<code>
import wmi

c = wmi.WMI ()
for p in c.Win32_Process (Name="notepad.exe"):
  print p.ProcessId

</code>
