#win32pdhutil.browse()

def uptimeServeur(serveur='Python'):
    path = win32pdh.MakeCounterPath( ( serveur, 'Système', None, None, 0, "Temps d'activité système") )
    query = win32pdh.OpenQuery()
    handle = win32pdh.AddCounter( query, path )
    win32pdh.CollectQueryData( query )
    seconds = win32pdh.GetFormattedCounterValue( handle, win32pdh.PDH_FMT_LONG | win32pdh.PDH_FMT_NOSCALE )[ 1 ]
    return  "Serveur : %s - Uptime: %d seconds" %(serveur,seconds ) 

print uptimeServeur()
