Change process priority in Python, cross-platform

Question

I\'ve got a Python program that does time-consuming computations. Since it uses high CPU, and I want my system to remain responsive, I\'d like the program to change its prio

Answer 1

If you don't have access to some of these modules you can potentially do it in Windows with:

import os  
def lowpriority():  
    """ Set the priority of the process to below-normal."""  
    os.system("wmic process where processid=\""+str(os.getpid())+"\" CALL   setpriority \"below normal\"")  

You can obviously distinguish OS types as with examples above for compatibility.
