Are you sure?

From [1] it seems that GetModuleFileNameW is just the Unicode version 
of GetModuleFileName. Excerpt from [1] (emphasis mine):

"Retrieves the fully-qualified path for the file that contains the 
specified module. THE MODULE MUST HAVE BEEN LOADED BY THE CURRENT PROCESS."

The current process here is the lua interpreter running the script where 
winapi's get_processes() is called. So this shouldn't be able to return 
the path of an arbitrary process active on the system and whose pid is 
returned by get_processes().

Am I missing something?
