why does this script not work with threading python

问题

so i've been trying to ifnd a way to access task manager. I've tried a few methods including the wmi module and the windows tasklist but neither suit my need. wmi is way too slow and tasklist becomes too slow when i access it multiple times concurrently in something using multiprocessing. so i found this script which works quite nicely but i can't get it to work with threading.

import win32com.client
strComputer = "."
objWMIService = win32com.client.Dispatch("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
objSWbemServices = objWMIService.ConnectServer(strComputer,"root\cimv2")
colItems = objSWbemServices.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process")
for objItem in colItems:
   print "Name: ", objItem.Name
   print "File location: ", objItem.ExecutablePath

this is the error:

Exception in thread Thread-1:

You need to call CoInitialize() in order to use win32com.client:

import pythoncom
import win32com.client as client

pythoncom.CoInitialize()

strComputer = "."
objWMIService = client.Dispatch("WbemScripting.SWbemLocator")
objSWbemServices = objWMIService.ConnectServer(strComputer,"root\cimv2")
colItems = objSWbemServices.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Process")

for objItem in colItems:
    print "Name: ", objItem.Name
    print "File location: ", objItem.ExecutablePath
