# Checks if a process (pid) is alive on Windows 

### pip install subprocess-alive

#### Tested against Windows 10 / Python 3.10 / Anaconda


```python

from subprocess_alive import is_process_alive
import subprocess
from time import perf_counter
p = subprocess.Popen("ping 8.8.8.8", shell=True)

start = perf_counter()
while is_process_alive(p.pid):
    print(f"{p.pid} is alive", end="\r")
print(f"{p.pid} is not alive - execution time: {perf_counter()-start}")

start = perf_counter()
p = subprocess.Popen("ping 8.8.8.8", shell=False)
while is_process_alive(p.pid):
    print(f"{p.pid} is alive", end="\r")
print(f"{p.pid} is not alive - execution time: {perf_counter()-start}")
