Get process ID with python

How to get the current process id with Python on Windows?

There is this function os.geteuid(), but it only works with Linux/Unix. Could someone explain what is the Pythonic way to get the current process id on windows?

Do you really want the process ID? Then the answer is this:

>>> import os
>>> os.getpid()
5328

on either Windows or Unix (documentation of os.getpid).

os.geteuid() doesn't get the process ID, which makes me wonder whether you're really asking a different question...?
