What\'s your preferred way of getting current system status (current CPU, RAM, free disk space, etc.) in Python? Bonus points for *nix and Windows platforms.
There seems to be a few possible ways of extracting that from my search:
Using a library such as PSI (that currently seems not actively developed and not supported on multiple platform) or something like pystatgrab (again no activity since 2007 it seems and no support for Windows).
Using platform specific code such as using a
os.popen(\"ps\")or similar for the *nix systems andMEMORYSTATUSinctypes.windll.kernel32(see this recipe on ActiveState) for the Windows platform. One could put a Python class together with all those code snippets.
It\'s not that those methods are bad but is there already a well-supported, multi-platform way of doing the same thing?
回答1:
The psutil library will give you some system information (CPU / Memory usage) on a variety of platforms:
psutil is a module providing an interface for retrieving information on running processes and system utilization (CPU, memory) in a portable way by using Python, implementing many functionalities offered by tools like ps, top and Windows task manager.
It currently supports Linux, Windows, OSX, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD, both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, with Python versions from 2.6 to 3.5 (users of Python 2.4 and 2.5 may use 2.1.3 version).
UPDATE: Here is some example usages of psutil:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import psutil
# gives a single float value
psutil.cpu_percent()
# gives an object with many fields
psutil.virtual_memory()
# you can convert that object to a dictionary
dict(psutil.virtual_memory()._asdict())
回答2:
Use the psutil library. On Ubuntu 18.04, pip installed 5.5.0 (latest version) as of 1-30-2019. Older versions may behave somewhat differently. You can check your version of psutil by doing this in Python:
from __future__ import print_function # for Python2
import psutil
print(psutil.__version__)
To get some memory and CPU stats:
from __future__ import print_function
import psutil
print(psutil.cpu_percent())
print(psutil.virtual_memory()) # physical memory usage
print('memory % used:', psutil.virtual_memory()[2])
The virtual_memory (tuple) will have the percent memory used system-wide. This seemed to be overestimated by a few percent for me on Ubuntu 18.04.
You can also get the memory used by the current Python instance:
import os
import psutil
pid = os.getpid()
py = psutil.Process(pid)
memoryUse = py.memory_info()[0]/2.**30 # memory use in GB...I think
print('memory use:', memoryUse)
which gives the current memory use of your Python script.
There are some more in-depth examples on the pypi page for psutil.

Only for Linux: One-liner for the RAM usage with only stdlib dependency:
import os
tot_m, used_m, free_m = map(int, os.popen('free -t -m').readlines()[-1].split()[1:])
edit: specified solution OS dependency

Below codes, without external libraries worked for me. I tested at Python 2.7.9
CPU Usage
import os
CPU_Pct=str(round(float(os.popen('''grep 'cpu ' /proc/stat | awk '{usage=($2+$4)*100/($2+$4+$5)} END {print usage }' ''').readline()),2))
#print results
print("CPU Usage = " + CPU_Pct)
And Ram Usage, Total, Used and Free
import os
mem=str(os.popen('free -t -m').readlines())
"""
Get a whole line of memory output, it will be something like below
[' total used free shared buffers cached\n',
'Mem: 925 591 334 14 30 355\n',
'-/+ buffers/cache: 205 719\n',
'Swap: 99 0 99\n',
'Total: 1025 591 434\n']
So, we need total memory, usage and free memory.
We should find the index of capital T which is unique at this string
"""
T_ind=mem.index('T')
"""
Than, we can recreate the string with this information. After T we have,
"Total: " which has 14 characters, so we can start from index of T +14
and last 4 characters are also not necessary.
We can create a new sub-string using this information
"""
mem_G=mem[T_ind+14:-4]
"""
The result will be like
1025 603 422
we need to find first index of the first space, and we can start our substring
from from 0 to this index number, this will give us the string of total memory
"""
S1_ind=mem_G.index(' ')
mem_T=mem_G[0:S1_ind]
"""
Similarly we will create a new sub-string, which will start at the second value.
The resulting string will be like
603 422
Again, we should find the index of first space and than the
take the Used Memory and Free memory.
"""
mem_G1=mem_G[S1_ind+8:]
S2_ind=mem_G1.index(' ')
mem_U=mem_G1[0:S2_ind]
mem_F=mem_G1[S2_ind+8:]
print 'Summary = ' + mem_G
print 'Total Memory = ' + mem_T +' MB'
print 'Used Memory = ' + mem_U +' MB'
print 'Free Memory = ' + mem_F +' MB'

Here's something I put together a while ago, it's windows only but may help you get part of what you need done.

"... current system status (current CPU, RAM, free disk space, etc.)" And "*nix and Windows platforms" can be a difficult combination to achieve.
The operating systems are fundamentally different in the way they manage these resources. Indeed, they differ in core concepts like defining what counts as system and what counts as application time.
"Free disk space"? What counts as "disk space?" All partitions of all devices? What about foreign partitions in a multi-boot environment?
I don't think there's a clear enough consensus between Windows and *nix that makes this possible. Indeed, there may not even be any consensus between the various operating systems called Windows. Is there a single Windows API that works for both XP and Vista?
回答7:
I feel like these answers were written for Python 2, and in any case nobody's made mention of the standard resource package that's available for Python 3. It provides commands for obtaining the resource limits of a given process (the calling Python process by default). This isn't the same as getting the current usage of resources by the system as a whole, but it could solve some of the same problems like e.g. "I want to make sure I only use X much RAM with this script."

We chose to use usual information source for this because we could find instantaneous fluctuations in free memory and felt querying the meminfo data source was helpful. This also helped us get a few more related parameters that were pre-parsed.
Code
import os
linux_filepath = '/proc/meminfo'
meminfo = dict((i.split()[0].rstrip(':'), int(i.split()[1]))
for i in open(linux_filepath).readlines())
meta['memory_total_gb'] = meminfo['MemTotal'] / (2**20)
meta['memory_free_gb'] = meminfo['MemFree'] / (2**20)
meta['memory_available_gb'] = meminfo['MemAvailable'] / (2**20)
Output for reference (we stripped all newlines for further analysis)

For CPU details use psutil library
https://psutil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#cpu
For RAM Frequency (in MHz) use the built in Linux library dmidecode and manipulate the output a bit ;). this command needs root permission hence supply your password too. just copy the following commend replacing mypass with your password
import osos.system("echo mypass | sudo -S dmidecode -t memory | grep 'Clock Speed' | cut -d ':' -f2")------------------- Output ---------------------------
1600 MT/s
Unknown
1600 MT/s
Unknown 0
- more specificly
[i for i in os.popen("echo mypass | sudo -S dmidecode -t memory | grep 'Clock Speed' | cut -d ':' -f2").read().split(' ') if i.isdigit()]
-------------------------- output -------------------------
['1600', '1600']

You can use psutil or psmem with subprocess example code
import subprocess
cmd = subprocess.Popen(['sudo','./ps_mem'],stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
out,error = cmd.communicate()
memory = out.splitlines()

top_vals = [int(val) for val in sub.communicate()[0].split('\n')[0].split[1:5]]
return (top_vals[0] + top_vals[2]) * 100. /(top_vals[0] + top_vals[2] + top_vals[3])

I don't believe that there is a well-supported multi-platform library available. Remember that Python itself is written in C so any library is simply going to make a smart decision about which OS-specific code snippet to run, as you suggested above.
