get pid of finished QProcess

I'm trying to get the PID of a finished QProcess, something like this:

proc = QProcess.start()
proc.finished.connect(self.finished)

def finished(self):
    self.sender().pid()

QProcess.pid() will return 0 if the process is closed however, and QProcess.finished() would only call once the process is complete, so I can only ever get 0... How can I work around this? I'm trying to think of a way to NOT have to use the PID on completion, but at the moment that's what I have to do.

I tried proc.aboutToClose.connect(self.finished) but this never returned anything so it seems it wasn't signaled, but that would be a good solution if I can get that to work.

Ekhumoro gave the answer, the solution is to name the process by the PID and therefore you can still get it later by just querying the object name:

proc.setObjectName(str(proc.pid()))
