Hi,
is it possibile, in python, to check for an already running instance of an
application?
My problem is that, if my program i running and the user relaunch it, i
don't want to open a new instance and have to instances of the same program
running togheter...
Can someone help me on this?

I haven't tested this. There is probably a better way of doing this
looking at process information. I use a lock file to mark that the
program is already running. The problem is that for an abrupt shutdown
the file might not be removed.
import atexit
if os.path.exists( lockfile):
print "there is an instance already running"
else:
file(lockfile, "w").close( )
atexit.register (lambda:os.remo ve(lockfile))
//Your code here

To enhance your check, just write the PID into the file.
On startup, if file exists, you may check that the process
who has written it is still alive.

Yeah, but how can i retrieve my PID number?And how do i check if the process

I am using VB.NET 2005. To check if the same program already run or not, I
can use the following
If Process.GetProcessesByName(Process.GetCurrentProcess.ProcessName).Length
MsgBox("Another instance of " & Process.GetCurrentProcess.ProcessName &
" is already running !")
End
End If
I am wondering if I can check the same thing for a thread.
