Getting access to the process table from python?

[Roy Smith]

I need to get information about what processes are running on a box.
Right now, I'm interested in Solaris and Linux, but eventually
probably other systems too. I need to know things like the pid,
command line, CPU time, when the process started running, and owner.

Has anybody written a module to do this? I know I can run ps and
parse the output, or troll /proc directly, but if somebody's already
written all that, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.

Google "python process table"?

You might visit the Cheeseshop and search for "process table" there.
Searching there, I see one good hit that looks like what you're after.

Did you try google or pypi?
