[Python] Project P.I.N.N. - Module : OSCurrProcesses.py

[Psycho_Coder]

In this Module we get the list of current processes running in the OS. I used this Library psutil

In the module when we call the function getCurrProcesses(), returns a list of all the processes with name and process id in dictionary format. Then I write them into an XML file.

The XML is changed :-

Code: (xml) [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<pinfo>
<!--List of Running Processes in the OS-->
<PROCESS pid="PID">
            PNAME
        </PROCESS>
</pinfo>


So here's the code :-

Code: (python) [Select]
