Hi Pythonistas, i'm currently building a multi-platform renderfarm application, and would need to use GetProcessId to circumvant problems i encounter when i try to kill processes on win32
IE: i can't kill with TerminateProcess a process i spawned with CreateProcess (getting a Acess Denied error), but i can kill it using this chunk of aspn'd code PROCESS_TERMINATE = 1 handle = win32api.OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, False, pid) win32api.TerminateProcess(handle, -1) win32api.CloseHandle(handle) As i haven't found any way to get the pid except searching for the process name (but as we'll get several instances of maya.exe running on a renderslave, it won't get me far), i browsed the cvs source and found a function that was recently added: GetProcessId I then tried to compile the cvs trunk using python setup.py build, but got this error Building pywin32 2.4.210.1 running build running build_py running build_ext Warning - can't find an installed platform SDK error: The .NET Framework SDK needs to be installed before building extensions for Python. After several .net installs, i still got this error : \ i also tried (and failed) compiling it on visual studio, cygwin+mingw, but as i'm quite the noob on the subject of compiling for windows, i'm afraid i'm quite lost at the moment (my skills are limited to loading the project, clicking on build and watching the build fail with wide-eyed horror) Has someone got any pointers on compiling the cvs trunk ? A link to a quick howto or just a small paste of working compiling commands would be very appreciated Alternatively, if anyone knew how to effectively kill a process without the 'access denied' error (excepting running the service as administrator), i'll be very happy with it have a nice day and thanks in advance, ben _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
