[python-win32] How to determine if a process (known pid)

[Srivastava, Vaibhav (View Eng)]

You can "try" using CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(TH32CS_SNAPPROCESS, 0); and Process32First(snapshot, &process_entry);

I have had some success with this but sometimes this also could not recognize a running process. 

I am new to Python so am not sure if this available through python's windows API

hello,

How to determine if a process (known pid) os still running ?

Googling the web, I found 1 solution in killing the process,
but that's not what I want, I want to reuse the running process.

I could also ask a complete list of active processes,
but from my experiences that's quite slow.

Any better solutions ?

thanks,
