How can I access an applications 'File Description'?

Question

I am attempting to get a list of open application names. I have had success in finding their path and executable name using libraries such as win32gui and win32process, but no avail in finding the file description.

For clarification, here is what I am trying to find:

I can get the associative path and application name (Code.exe in this case), but I am looking for the 'Visual Studio Code' information.

It would also be nice to have access to other details, but this is not required.

You might find the function called getFileProperties(fname) useful. It returns a dict which you can key into like this: ['StringFileInfo']['FileDescription']. The function is defined at the link below.
