Using Python and WMI Queries to get a list of running services

I am attempting to get a list of services that are running on a windows machine with python.

My Code:

import wmi
c = wmi.WMI()    
wql = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Service WHERE State = ""Running"""
for x in c.query(wql):
    print(x)

I am getting an error and I do not understand why. I have a few other wql statements in my script and they seem to be working fine.

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    for x in c.query(wql):

wql = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Service WHERE State = ""Running"""

results to an invalid WQL query (checked using print(wql))

SELECT * FROM Win32_Service WHERE State = Running

You need

wql = 'SELECT * FROM Win32_Service WHERE State = "Running"'

which results to a valid WQL query (read WHERE Clause docs)

SELECT * FROM Win32_Service WHERE State = "Running"

BTW, you may use string literals, such as "Running" or 'Running', in a WHERE clause. Hence, the following WQL query works as well:

wql = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Service WHERE State = 'Running'"
