无意间得知了psutil模块，去网上找了下，找到：
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil
目前最新版是0.6.1
打算去折腾折腾。
不过先看看介绍。
psutil简介
psutil是什么
psutil是个Python模块。
psutil能干啥
psutil能干的事是：提供了个接口，可以用来获取信息，包括：
- 当前运行的进程
- 系统（资源使用）信息
- CPU
- 内存
- 磁盘
- 网络
- 用户
psutil实现了很多功能，包括了如下工具所具有的：
- ps
- top
- df
- kill
- free
- lsof
- free
- netstat
- ifconfig
- nice
- ionice
- iostat
- iotop
- uptime
- pidof
- tty
- who
- taskset
- pmap
由此可见，也就可以利用psutil去实现kill的功能，而把某个进程干掉。
下载psutil
找到下载的地方：
http://code.google.com/p/psutil/downloads/list
下载和我当前系统：
win7 64位
Python 2.7.2
对应的：
psutil-0.6.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
得到
psutil-0.6.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
安装psutil
双击psutil-0.6.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe去安装： 
此处可以正确的检测出Python的安装路径：
准备安装：
很快就安装完毕了：
使用psutil
试着去写写代码。
此处，尝试去找到，当前进程中正在运行的有道词典的信息，并打印出来。
进程名是：YodaoDict.exe
然后再干掉此进程。
然后参考：
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil
中的“Process management”，去写代码。

E:\Dev_Root\python\try_psutil>另外的，关于相关的其函数，比如kill，都可以参考官网的解释：
http://code.google.com/p/psutil/wiki/Documentation
比如：
- terminate()
Terminate the process with SIGTERM signal. On Windows this is an alias for kill().
- kill()
Kill the current process by using SIGKILL signal.
总结
psutil，效果还是很不错的。
