Process is not found if opened until a lot of searches

import psutil

name = "notepad.exe"

for proc in psutil.process_iter():
    if proc.name().lower() == name.lower():
        print("found")
    elif proc.name().lower() != name.lower():
        print("not found")

output:

not found
not found
not found
found
not found
not found

"notepad.exe" was open from the start and until the end of the script.

>Solution :

It seems to me you could use any() rather than using a for loop:

if any(proc.name().lower() == name.lower() for proc in psutil.process_iter()):
    print("found")
else
    print("not found")
