This Python 3.3 code works for Windows 7 with UAC all the way down.

import psutil
import time

def processcheck(seekitem):
    plist = psutil.get_process_list()
    str1=" ".join(str(x) for x in plist)
    if seekitem in str1:
        print ("Requested process is running")   

processcheck("System")
