Get Process Id with Python

How to get the current process id with python on windows?

1 Answer

Do you really want the process ID? Then the answer is this:

>>> import os
>>> os.getpid()
5328

on either Windows or Unix (documentation of os.getpid).

os.geteuid() doesn't get the process ID, which makes me wonder whether you're really asking a different question...?
