Revision 7. </p> <p>Two functions: one which waits for a certain PID to terminate (with optional timeout), another one which checks whether a process with a given PID is running.</p> <p>This was extracted from <a href="http://code.google.com/p/psutil/">psutil</a> project which also provides a Windows implementation.</p> <p>Timeout functionality is implemented as a busy loop and it was inspired by <a href="http://bugs.python.org/issue5673." rel="nofollow">http://bugs.python.org/issue5673.</a></p>
