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 classic UNIX command line tools such as ps, top, iotop, lsof, netstat, ifconfig, free and others. psutil currently supports the following platforms:
Linux
Windows
macOS
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD
Sun Solaris
AIX
Supported Python versions are 2.7, 3.6+ and PyPy.
Funding
While psutil is free software and will always be, the project would benefit immensely from some funding. Keeping up with bug reports and maintenance has become hardly sustainable for me alone in terms of time. If you’re a company that’s making significant use of psutil you can consider becoming a sponsor via GitHub Sponsors, Open Collective or PayPal and have your logo displayed in here and psutil doc.
