One of the less fun aspects of process management on POSIX systems is waiting for a process to terminate.

Memory leaks in Python are usually straightforward to diagnose.

With the release of psutil 7.1.2, wheels for free-threaded Python are now available.

Preface: the migration to pytest¶ Last year, after 17 years of unittest, I started adopting pytest in psutil (see #2446).

While browsing, I almost always keep three tabs open: Gmail, Slack, and Microsoft Teams (for work).

About dropping Python 2.7 support in psutil, 3 years ago I stated (#2014): Not a chance, for many years to come.

Lately I've been dealing with an asynchronous TCP client app which sends messages to a remote server.

My editor of choice for Python development is Sublime Text.

Hello there.

This is part of the psutil 5.6.0 release (see the full release notes).

After a long wait psutil finally supports a new exotic platform: AIX!

This one took a while.

psutil 5.3.0 is finally out.

psutil 5.1.0 is out.

Starting from psutil 5.0.0 you can query multiple Process fields around twice as fast as before (see #799 and Process.oneshot() doc).

OK, another psutil release.

New psutil 4.2.0 is out.

Roughly two months have passed since I last announced that psutil added support for OpenBSD.

psutil 4.0.0 is out, with some interesting news about process memory metrics.

...or why atexit.register() and signal.signal() are evil UPDATE (2016-02-13): this recipe no longer handles SIGINT, SIGQUIT and SIGABRT as aliases for "application exit" because it was a bad idea.

Starting from version 3.3.0 (released just now) psutil officially supports OpenBSD.

This is part of the psutil 3.0 release (see the full release notes).

Here we are.

psutil 2.1.2 is out.

sendfile(2) is a UNIX system call which provides a "zero-copy" way of copying data from one file descriptor (a file) to another (a socket).

8 years ago I started hosting my first open source project (pyftpdlib, code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib) on Google Code and I later ended up also hosting psutil (code.google.com/p/psutil) and pysendfile (code.google.com/p/pysendfile).

psutil 2.1.0 is out and with it I finally managed to implement something I've been wanting to have for a long time: netstat-like functionality (see ticket code.google.com/p/psutil/issues/detail?

psutil 2.0 is out.

This blog post is going to be about psutil 2.0, a major release in which I decided to reorganize the existing API for the sake of consistency.

One of the initial features which were included in psutil since day one (5 years ago) were the system's boot time, number of CPUs and total physical memory.
