psutil-extra's Introduction

psutil-extra

Some helper functions to go along with the ones in psutil.

Examples

>>> import os
>>> import resource
>>> import psutil
>>> import psutil_extra
>>> proc = psutil.Process()
>>> os.getgroups()
[1000]
>>> psutil_extra.proc_getgroups(proc)  # Availability: Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD, Solaris
[1000]
>>> psutil_extra.proc_get_umask(proc)  # Availability: Linux (kernel 4.7 or newer), FreeBSD
18
>>> resource.getrlimit(resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE)
(1024, 524288)
>>> psutil_extra.proc_rlimit(proc, resource.RLIMIT_NOFILE)  # Availability: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD
(1024, 524288)
>>> psutil_extra.proc_get_sigmasks()  # Availability: Linux, macOS, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD
ProcessSignalMasks(pending=set(), blocked=set(), ignored={25, 13}, caught={32, 33, 2, 28}, process_pending=set())

Platform support

The following platforms have first-class support (the CI builds run tests on these platforms, and all available interfaces should work properly):

Linux
macOS
FreeBSD

In addition, psutil_extra should work on the following platforms, but no testing has been performed:

OpenBSD
NetBSD
DragonFlyBSD
Solaris

Some notes:

Windows support is not planned. Most of the interfaces that psutil_extra currently supports are fairly Unix-specific.
Most of psutil_extra's interfaces work on Windows Subsystem for Linux, but some of them don't work properly on WSL 1. See the documentation for more details.
