Summary
=======
psutil (process and system utilities) is a cross-platform library for
retrieving information on **running processes** and **system utilization**
(CPU, memory, disks, network, sensors) in Python.
It is useful mainly for **system monitoring**, **profiling and limiting process
resources** and **management of running processes**.
It implements many functionalities offered by command line tools such as:
ps, top, lsof, netstat, ifconfig, who, df, kill, free, nice, ionice, iostat,
iotop, uptime, pidof, tty, taskset, pmap.
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 3.6** (users of Python 2.4 and 2.5 may use
`2.1.3 <https://pypi.python.org/pypi?name=psutil&version=2.1.3&:action=files>`__ version).
`PyPy <http://pypy.org/>`__ is also known to work.
