1. PSI Python System Information Lightning Talk - PyCon UK 2007 Chris Miles
2. PSI WHAT IS IT ? A Python package to provide direct access to run- time system information A Python C extension to extract system information directly from system calls & kernel hooks A module to provide a consistent interface to system information across all supported platforms
3. PSI WHAT INFORMATION? Current version: Architecture/platform details System load averages Run-time process information Snapshot of all processes Platforms: Solaris, Linux, Mac OS X
4. PSI WHAT INFORMATION? Future versions: CPU usage Memory/swap size and usage Network info & I/O statistics Filesystem usage & I/O statistics Any other info we can pull out of the kernel
5. PSI WHAT INFORMATION? Future versions: Enumerate system resources: CPUs, disks, peripherals, etc More platforms: Windows, FreeBSD, etc
6. EXAMPLES

PSI >>> import psi >>> a = psi.arch.arch_type() >>> a <psi.arch.ArchMacOSX object type='Darwin'> >>> isinstance(a, psi.arch.ArchDarwin) True >>> a.nodename 'laptop' >>> a.release '8.9.1' >>> a.version 'Darwin Kernel Version 8.9.1: Thu Feb 22 20:55:00 PST 2007; root:xnu-792.18.15~1/RELEASE_I386' >>> a.machine 'i386'
8.
