Given Turing-completeness, one should more precisely ask whether there is already a library for doing something in Python rather than whether something is possible with Python.

It is generally customary to wait /at least/ one day before pinging on one's question again. If you were to have searched PyPI (http://pypi.python.org), you would have found psutil, which seems to fit your bill: http://code.google.com/p/psutil/ Cheers, Chris -- This completes today's Netiquette lesson. http://blog.rebertia.com

Turing-completeness is irrelevant to questions like getting memory and CPU info for a process. These are not issues of computability...

These are not issues of computability... True, but given that it is possible to access most *nix APIs from Python and win32all provides what I understand to be extensive access to the Win32 API from Python, cross-platform coding is almost always possible in Python. You might have to manually deal with each case yourself though. (More technically, I suppose that's being multi-platform with relatively easy DIY cross-platform).
