Question
I have a path where I have many executables (around 800). I need to know if some of those executables are running. This is because I need to run a build and if the executables are running I cannot recreate them (access error when linker is invoked).
What I do currently is to run taskkill (I am on Windows platform) on all those executables. This takes time and I'd like to know if there's a faster/better way.
The build scripts are written in python but other solutions are welcome if we can easily integrate them.

For similar purposes I have used psutil library. Some hints:

Russianpsutil.pids() (reference)process = psutil.Process(pid) (reference)process.kill or process.terminate()Installation on windows - pip will do installation from the source (which means compiling), so you probably want to download binary installation from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil/#downloads.
