You should consider using the new subprocess module. It provides both phandle and pid. You can confirm this using EnumWindows and win32process.GetWindowThreadProcessId. The value returned by .pid is the same as that from GetWindowThreadProcessId. ._handle is the same as that returned by spawnv, l, whatever.
process = subprocess.Popen(["c:\\windows\\notepad.exe",'','']) print process.pid print int(process._handle) Bobby -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Hammond Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2006 4:19 AM To: 'Scott Hogsten'; python-win32@python.org Subject: Re: [python-win32] How to get PID from a Proces Handle ? > I have some code that spawns processes using the "spawnv" > command this returns a process handle. > Can I use the process handle to retrieve the actual PID of > the process ?

It's not immediately obvious how to do this simply, but at a pinch, maybe win32pdh or WMI could be used? Other (more painful) option is to use CreateProcess to spawn your process. The best Python implemented example of how to do this I know of is at http://svn.zope.org/*checkout*/Zope/trunk/lib/python/nt_svcutils/service .py? content-type=text%2Fplain - the main advantage is that you can redirect the output any place you like. Hope that helps.
