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

[Tim Golden]

| 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.

FWIW, you can do this quite easily with wmi:

<code>

import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ()
for p in c.Win32_Process (Name="IEXPLORE.EXE"):
  p.Terminate ()

</code>
