=======
Summary
=======

psutil (process and system utilities) is a cross-platform library for
retrieving information on **running processes** and **system utilization**
(CPU, memory, disks, network, sensors) in Python.
It is useful mainly for **system monitoring**, **profiling and limiting process
resources** and **management of running processes**.
It implements many functionalities offered by UNIX command line tools such as:
ps, top, lsof, netstat, ifconfig, who, df, kill, free, nice, ionice, iostat,
iotop, uptime, pidof, tty, taskset, pmap.
psutil currently supports the following platforms:

- **Linux**
- **Windows**
- **OSX**,
- **FreeBSD, OpenBSD**, **NetBSD**
- **Sun Solaris**
- **AIX**

...both **32-bit** and **64-bit** architectures, with Python
versions from **2.6 to 3.6**.
`PyPy <http://pypy.org/>`__ is also known to work.

Projects using psutil
=====================

At the time of writing psutil has roughly
`2.9 milion downloads <https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/issues/1053#issuecomment-340166262>`__
per month and there are over
`6000 open source projects <https://libraries.io/pypi/psutil/dependent_repositories?page=1>`__
on github which depend from psutil.
Here's some I find particularly interesting:

Further process APIs
====================

.. code-block:: python

    >>> import psutil
    >>> for proc in psutil.process_iter(attrs=['pid', 'name']):
    ...     print(proc.info)
    ...
    {'pid': 1, 'name': 'systemd'}
    {'pid': 2, 'name': 'kthreadd'}
    {'pid': 3, 'name': 'ksoftirqd/0'}
    ...
    >>>
    >>> psutil.pid_exists(3)
    True
    >>>
    >>> def on_terminate(proc):
    ...     print("process {} terminated".format(proc))
    ...
    >>> # waits for multiple processes to terminate
    >>> gone, alive = psutil.wait_procs(procs_list, timeout=3, callback=on_terminate)
    >>>

Popen wrapper:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> import psutil
    >>> from subprocess import PIPE
    >>> p = psutil.Popen(["/usr/bin/python", "-c", "print('hello')"], stdout=PIPE)
    >>> p.name()
    'python'
    >>> p.username()
    'giampaolo'
    >>> p.communicate()
    ('hello\n', None)
    >>> p.wait(timeout=2)
    0
    >>>

Windows services
================

.. code-block:: python

    >>> list(psutil.win_service_iter())
    [<WindowsService(name='AeLookupSvc', display_name='Application Experience') at 38850096>,
     <WindowsService(name='ALG', display_name='Application Layer Gateway Service') at 38850128>,
     <WindowsService(name='APNMCP', display_name='Ask Update Service') at 38850160>,
     <WindowsService(name='AppIDSvc', display_name='Application Identity') at 38850192>,
     ...]
    >>> s = psutil.win_service_get('alg')
    >>> s.as_dict()
    {'binpath': 'C:\\Windows\\System32\\alg.exe',
     'description': 'Provides support for 3rd party protocol plug-ins for Internet Connection Sharing',
     'display_name': 'Application Layer Gateway Service',
     'name': 'alg',
     'pid': None,
     'start_type': 'manual',
     'status': 'stopped',
     'username': 'NT AUTHORITY\\LocalService'}
