Is there a function can list all processes in python?
Like Bash command ps or Windows command tasklist.
However I need a function that can run on Windows and Linux.

@luoluo No, I need a function can run on Windows and Linux. Python doesn't have it? – Remi Guan Sep 17 '15 at 02:58

The `os.listdir('/proc')` is python `bulit-in`. So what do you mean by `any platform`? – luoluo Sep 17 '15 at 03:01

@Barmar Just probably, not sure enough. – luoluo Sep 17 '15 at 03:01

@luoluo I mean a function can run on Windows and Linux. Windows doesn't have a `'/proc'` right? – Remi Guan Sep 17 '15 at 03:02

@luoluo That's why we require multiple people to vote to close. If you're wrong, it shouldn't get enough votes. – Barmar Sep 17 '15 at 03:02

@KevinGuan There's probably no portable Python way to do it, you have to use OS-specific features. – Barmar Sep 17 '15 at 03:03

aha, got it. @Barmar – luoluo Sep 17 '15 at 03:03

@Kevin in the answer linked there was a mention of [psutils](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil) which'll handle making the appropriate calls to the current OS. – Jon Clements Sep 17 '15 at 03:05

@JonClements Hum, let me try it. – Remi Guan Sep 17 '15 at 03:07

@JonClements great! `psutil.process_iter()` is so good. So how can I close this question? – Remi Guan Sep 17 '15 at 03:10
