About
=====

psutil (process and system utilities) is a cross-platform library for
retrieving information on running processes and system utilization (CPU,
memory, disks, network) 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, NetBSD and AIX, both 32-bit and 64-bit
architectures, with Python versions from 2.6 to 3.6. PyPy is also known to
work.
