How to find process ids of running applications using python3

Question

Let's suppose 3 applications are open on windows 7.

First,

Second,

How can this be done using python.

The purpose is to make an application which kills the selected process.

I think you will need to edit your question and be a bit more specific on what you are trying to do. Are you using a unix or windows system? — Padraic Cunningham, May 19 '14 at 11:13

This will find all the chrome pids and kill them, it is cross platform:

import psutil
for p in psutil.process_iter():
    if p.name == "chrome":
        print (p.pid)
        p.kill()

There are lots of examples here

Is there any Idea to choose process which is on task bar? – Ui-Gyun Jeong May 19 '14 at 11:40

p.name does not return process's name. p.name() == "chrome" is right. – passion053 Mar 11 '16 at 06:11
