This is not directly what you wanted, but it works for me::
In [1]: import win32com.client
In [2]: wmi = win32com.client.GetObject('winmgmts:')
In [3]: procs = wmi.ExecQuery('Select * from win32_process')
In [4]: for proc in procs:
...: print proc.Name
...:
System Idle Process
... [censored]
There are also python-packages that encapsulate dealing with wmi.
