I am working with application written in python on windows 7, it needs calling process and setting the priority of the process to high, how can I increment or change the called process priority with python?

  • Is the parent process running as administrator? – Keith Dec 16 '12 at 09:56

    Why would being admin matter? And why are you running admin anyway? – David Heffernan Dec 16 '12 at 12:42

  • I don't know if it matter or not, but the process is running admin because it need to access many critical resources – Hani Dec 16 '12 at 13:50

You could use with `subprocess` module if you can't install `psutil` module that provides a more uniform api (`.nice`) – jfs Dec 16 '12 at 18:22

It seems likely that the solution lays in using the subprocess module

  • yes I have already used subprocess module in calling and working with the process, so I have thought it may be a way to increase the priority of the process. any way thanx for your help – Hani Dec 16 '12 at 13:27
