You might start with something like this ...
# python2.x
try:
os.kill(24275, 0)
except OSError, e:
if e.errno != 3: # 3 = No such process
raise
# process is not running, do something
else:
# process is running, do something
It would seem os.kill returns nothing if the signal is sent
successfully, and will raise an exception if not.
HTH!
