Getting processor information in Python

Question

Using Python is there any way to find out the processor information... (I need the name)

I need the name of the processor that the interpreter is running on. I check

Answer 1

The if-cases for Windows i.e platform.processor() just gives the description or family name of the processor e.g. Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3.

I used:

  if platform.system() == "Windows":
        family = platform.processor()
        name = subprocess.check_output(["wmic","cpu","get", "name"]).strip().split("\n")[1]
        return ' '.join([name, family])

to get the actual cpu model which is the the same output as the if-blocks for Darwin and Linux, e.g. Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790K CPU @ 4.00GHz Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3, GenuineIntel
