I wanted to know if there is any way to make python able to know which processes are open in my OS (win 7 in my case)

ex:

[I have google open]

print "los procesos abiertos son:", procesos

the open processes are: google.exe

I hope to have explained myself well. Use python 2.7

python python-2.7

Python standard libraries do not provide such functionality, as the responses of indicate. List running processes on 64-bit Windows you can use 2 libraries:

wmi , windows only

import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ()

for process in c.Win32_Process ():
    print(process.ProcessId, process.Name)

psutil , cross platform

import psutil

for p in psutil.process_iter():
    print(p, p.name(), p.pid)
