Hmm, yeah, cygwin ps seems quite limited.

tasklist is the Windows version of ps.  You could try something like
'tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq python.exe"', though you'd then have to
parse the output.

There's also the WMIC command, which is apparently extremely powerful.
 Look at http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid14_gci1303709,00.html
for example.
