Hi there folks, I'm pleased to announce the 1.2.0 release of psutil: http://code.google.com/p/psutil/
=== About === psutil is a module providing an interface for retrieving information on all running processes and system utilization (CPU, memory, disks, network, users) in a portable way by using Python, implementing many functionalities offered by command line tools such as ps, top, free, netstat, lsof and others. It supports Linux, Windows, OSX, FreeBSD and Solaris with Python versions from 2.4 to 3.4. === New features === psutil provides a new wait_procs() utility function which waits for multiple processes to terminate ( https://code.google.com/p/psutil/issues/detail?id=440) Tipical use case is: 1. send SIGTERM to a list of processes 2. give them some time to terminate 3. send SIGKILL to those ones which are still alive Example: >>> def on_terminate(proc): ... print("process {} terminated".format(proc)) ... >>> for p in procs: ... p.terminate() ... >>> gone, still_alive = psutil.wait_procs(procs, timeout=3, callback=on_terminate) >>> for p in still_alive: ... p.kill() ... >>> Also, you can now avoid to pass a PID to psutil.Process constructor in which case os.getpid() will be assumed. === Main bugfixes === High priority issue https://code.google.com/p/psutil/issues/detail?id=348on Windows XP has been fixed. === Links === * Home page: http://code.google.com/p/psutil * Downloads: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=display&name=psutil#downloads * API Reference: http://code.google.com/p/psutil/wiki/Documentation Please try out this new release and let me know if you experience any problem by filing issues on the bug tracker.
