[Twisted-Python] Windows Programming Info

[Michael Schneider]

Thanks to all for the help with win32eventreactor and spawnprocess.


I came across a great windows package called wmi (for microsoft's
Windows Managment Interface).

It gives you very low level access to your windows system. It uses
win32.

Here is the URL:

Here is some sample code to run


Thanks for the help on this,
I will post my final code for the compute node class

----------------------------------------------------------
import wmi
c = wmi.WMI ()

diskList = [x for x in c.Win32_LogicalDisk (DriveType=3) ]
procList = [proc for proc in  c.Win32_Process () ]

for x in range(10):
    for disk in diskList:
        print disk

    for process in procList:
        print process



----------------------------------------------------------


Note: to kill a job, you can call terminate on a process object

result = process.Terminate ()

------------------------------------------
