Accessing Tor using Python 2.7.x Below are two functions that work no problem in my current script. They are written to be ran in Python 2.7.x

def tor_browser_initialise():
        """ This function checks whether the Tor Browser is running. If it isn't,
        it will open the Tor Browser.
        """
        processlist = []
        for p in psutil.process_iter():
            try:
                process = psutil.Process(p.pid)
                pname = process.name()
                processlist.append(pname)
            except:
                continue
        if "tor.exe" not in processlist:
            process = subprocess.Popen(r"C:\Program Files (x86)\Tor Browser\Browser\firefox.exe", stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
            time.sleep(30)

def connect_tor(url):
    """ This function accepts a URl as an argument. It accesses the URL via TOR before
    returning the HTML source code to the function that called it. This function also
    uses random browser information.
    """
    LOCALHOST = "127.0.0.1"
    PORT = 9150
    useragent_list = ['Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0',
                   'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0',

    socks.setdefaultproxy(socks.PROXY_TYPE_SOCKS5, LOCALHOST, PORT)
    socket.socket = socks.socksocket
    request = urllib2.Request(url)
    request.add_header('User-Agent', random.choice(useragent_list))
    response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
    return response


I'd like to know if there is a more concise and Pythonic way of writing the two functions. I haven't listed the dependant libraries / modules at the beginning of the code, but it does work correctly.
Avoid bare except

Writing except: without specifying a precise exception is asking for trouble, as anything will be caught, silencing all possible  bugs, instead use: except MyExpectedKindOfException.

Reconsider the very long sleeping

The function tor_browser_initialise ends with time.sleep(30).

That is a lot of time to sleep. Are you 100% sure that any call to that function will want to sleep so much?

Much worse, the sleep is not documented, so the caller will see his program hang on for 30 seconds for no apparent reason!

Just remove the call to time.sleep and let the user decide if and how much he wants to sleep after calling the function.
