Listing the processes running on one's computer in Python

Is there a cross-platform way to list the processes running on one's computer through a python script? For Unix based system "ps -ef" works, but I am new to Python and don't know a way to write something that would work across any platform.

Thanks!

While PSI page lists some alternatives, what you need is psutil. It is the only one that supports Windows, or as it states on a home page:

Linux, Windows, OSX and FreeBSD both 32-bit and 64-bit with Python versions from 2.4 to 3.2.

Python itself doesn't offer any such functionality. On PyPI, there is the enumprocess package, which supposedly helps; there is also the PSI package. I haven't personally used any of them.
