I think the application Activity Monitor is the easiest way to track down rogue processes. It's in the utilities folder in the applications folder. Open that, and then take kcrisman's advice of killing python processes. Do that by selecting the process, and clicking the stop sign at the top left. You can normally just quit, but sometimes you need to force quit (which is like the kill -9 that kcrisman suggests.)
