RaiMan proposed the following answer:
LOL, already thought that you might be more in this direction.
Nevertheless: sometimes I take the chance with a question to write down some general comments.
Might be it helps others.

BTW: thanks for feedback on SikuliX.

Your problem:
In such system specific cases there are only 3 options:
1. find a Python package, that works with Jython or some Java library
2. access the Windows API with some Java JNI/JNA package (e.g. BridJ, that I use), but usage is rather complex
3. find an appropriate Windows command, that reveals the needed information 

In this case option 3 is sufficient:

cmd = "wmic path Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process get Name,PercentProcessorTime"
# yields output like:
# process_name cpu_utilization_value_in_%
# example   30
# example1  12

cmdOut = run(cmd) # issue command
# check the command output
info = cmdOut.split("\n") # get the output as list of lines
for line in info:
    line = line.strip() # get rid of suttounding whitespace
    if line.endswith(" 0"): continue # skip entries having value 0
    print line
    (name, cpu) = line.split() # get the name and percentage
    # and more processing as you like

You might put this into a function.
