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

[Jens B. Jorgensen]

Hmmm, EnumProcesses would be oneWin32 call to get at this but for 
whatever reason I don't see that call present in win32process. Odd. I 
think you may be able to enumerate them through WMI and then use 
win32api.OpenProcess to get the handle to it. I'd look down that avenue.
