Cross platform process enumerator for Python?

Question

I need a cross-platform module which allows me to enumerate processes on the machine. It needs to work on Windows and Unix, and get things like PID and Process Names.

Is there such module?

Answer 1

psutil should work nicely for this.

"psutil is a module providing an interface for retrieving information on all running processes and system utilization (CPU, memory) in a portable way by using Python, implementing many functionalities offered by command line tools like ps, top, kill, lsof and netstat."
