How can I find the Command Line of a Process with Python?

I tried to get the Command Line of a running Process with Python. I managed to do it with Powershell but I need to get it with Python which is my Problem.

Working Powershell Code:

Get-CimInstance Win32_Process -Filter "name = 'process.exe'" | select CommandLine

I tried everything I found but still can't do it... It would be very nice if someone could help me.

import psutil

for process in psutil.process_iter():
    cmdline = process.cmdline
    if "main.py" in cmdline and "testarg" in cmdline:
        # do something

EDIT: Sorry, actually this is a bit different.
But if you're on Windows, you can try the following:

import wmi
w=wmi.WMI()
name = "cmd.exe"
for process in w.Win32_Process():
    if process.Name == name:
        tmp1 = process.Commandline
        tmp2 = tmp1.split(' ', 1)
        args = tmp2[1]
        break
print(args)

EDIT2: improved code. Important: only the first process' arguments found are stored in var 'args'!
