Python: Preventing an application from exiting.

I overheard somebody complaining that a program needs to be "Always open" and that the "Stinkin' Users" always close it causing issues down the line...

This can be really easy to fix... create a watcher with the WMI module for python and when the event is triggered, open the program again... then call the 'def' again recursively so the watcher program stays open all the time...  I don't think that's very clear to them, so I just said I could make something for them.

Heres what it looks like:

import wmi
import subprocess
def ohnoyoudidnt():
    c = wmi.WMI()
    watcher = c.watch_for (
                               notification_type="Deletion",
                               wmi_class="Win32_Process",
                               delay_secs=1,
                               Name="application.exe"
                               )
    watcher ()
    exe_path = r'C:\Program Files\application.exe'
    subprocess.Popen(exe_path)
    ohnoyoudidnt()
if __name__ == '__main__':
    ohnoyoudidnt()

Now you need to get yourself the WMI Module here: http://timgolden.me.uk/python/wmi/index.html
It's a really awesome module and I have seen Tim Golden's posts around the web; very helpful.

the Subprocess module is standard so theres nothing to download there...

Hope it helps you out!
