Sorry about that, but actually they were sent before and never managed to appear on the list until now :\ I encountered a strange problem when trying to post this message the other week, from another email address than the one i'm using right now. Those two emails where sent 09/05 and 10/05 and never appeared before just now, but as a matter of fact i did saw two posts from other people on the list which had as enveloppe-from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I alerted python.org mailing list admin on this really strange postfix behaviour and reposted my mail using another email addy and this time it actually went through. Quite voodoo story, and as everything voodoo, it now has its own zombies with those mails that have been raised from the dead Anyway, sorry for not having answered before but i was slightly overworked :\ >>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) >But doesn't CreateProcess also return the PID to you, meaning you can safely >use the code above?

So, as i was telling, when i use createprocess i can't find the PID In [1]: import win32process In [2]: s = 'd:\\APPLIS\\cygwin\\bin\\ping.exe -t embrun' In [3]: win32process.CreateProcess(None, s,None, None, 1, 0, None,None, win32process.STARTUPINFO()) Out[3]: (<PyHANDLE:96>, <PyHANDLE:156>, 1316, 1528) and the ping.exe process is listed with a PID of 1402 in windows' tasks manager I have checked msdn and have seen the function that is called via win32.process.CreateProcess is stated to return a ProcessInformation structure, that contains the process ProcessId as its 3rd entry http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms684873.aspx So in my case, the process id returned would be 1316 In order to be sure i invoked PROCESS_TERMINATE = 1 handle = win32api.OpenProcess(PROCESS_TERMINATE, False, 1316) win32api.TerminateProcess(handle, -1) win32api.CloseHandle(handle) A quick glance in my task manager window showed me that the ping process was still running I then tried the same chuck of code with a PID of 1402, and the ping process this time disapeared from the task manager For your info, i'm on win2k For the compilation problems >> 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 : \ > After installing the Platform SDK (or .NET SDK), you still got the exact > error above?

Don't know why it incorrectly states .NET as being seeked, as the string *NET* does not exist in setup.py so i suppose it's windows internals that are at fault As i progressed, this error has been raised 'Can't find a version in Windows.h' Been crudely taken care of with finding the hexa value in windows.h and assigning it to a variable in setup.py Then i got a linking problem with pywintypes, Link reported that it couldn't find pywintypes.lib i searched around and found that pywintypes is a lib included in pywin32, i found it strange that pywin32 couldn't be build if pywin32 wasn't installed in the system, but i shrugged the shrug of HeWhoIsCompilingOnWindows and copied pywintypes.lib shamelessly at the root of my source directory Then pywin32 compiled some more and crashed on this C:\APPLIS\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin\link.exe /DLL /nologo /INCREMENTAL:NO /LIBPATH:C:\Python24\libs /LIBPATH:C:\Python24\PCBuild /LIBPATH:build\temp.win32-2.4\Release /EXPORT:initwin32pdh build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\win32\src\win32pdhmodule.obj /OUT:build\lib.win32-2.4\win32\win32pdh.pyd /IMPLIB:build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\win32\src\win32pdh.lib /MACHINE:ix86 /BASE:0x1eb30000 /DEBUG /PDB:build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\win32pdh.pdb Creating library build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\win32\src\win32pdh.lib and object build\temp.win32-2.4\Release\win32\src\win32pdh.exp win32pdhmodule.obj : error LNK2019: external symbol unresolved "__declspec(dllimport) struct _object * __cdecl PyWinLong_FromHANDLE(void *)" (__imp_?PyWinLong_FromHANDLE@@YAPAU_object@@[EMAIL PROTECTED]) referenced in function "struct _object * __cdecl PyAddCounter(struct _object *,struct _object *)" (?PyAddCounter@@YAPAU_object@@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@Z) build\lib.win32-2.4\win32\win32pdh.pyd : fatal error LNK1120: 1 external unresolved As it states that PyWinLong_FromHandle is not declared in pywintypes i verified that i had the latest relased version of pywin32 (it was) and grepped the lib for PywinLong No match was found for it This is where i stopped yesterday, i hope the gritty details will help you understand the issue.
