New submission from Jon Anglin <jang...@fortresgrand.com>: Implements getppid in the os module on Windows systems. The getppid function was only available on Unix like systems, this diff patch brings this functionality to Windows systems. This function will return the parent process Id, upon error it will return -1. This differs from the Unix implementation that never fails. Due to the way Windows returns the parent process Id, a never fail guarantee can not be made. It should only fail in low memory conditions. This patch is on the latest svn trunk ( http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk). This implementation should port to any python version (older or newer). I have personally tested it against Python 2.5.4, 2.6.2, 3.1, and the aforementioned svn trunk.
