I've recently implemented this functionality in psutil: http://code.google.com/p/psutil/issues/detail?id=147 If desired, I can contribute a patch for the os module, altough being such functions Linux-only, I'm not sure os module is the right place for them to land. Also, I've been thinking about this for quite a bit: would it be the case to add system-specific modules such as "linux" (and maybe also a "win32") to the standard library?
