Python Module for Determining CPU Freq. and Memory?

[efrat]

   Hello,

   I'd like to determine at runtime the computer's CPU frequency and 
memory.

Is there a module for these types of queries? platform.platform returns 
the computer's CPU name and type, but not its frequency; nor does it 
report how much memory the computer has. In the python help(), I 
searched for moudles cpu, but non were found.
(Please note: I'm interested in hardware stuff, like how much memory the 
machine has; not how much free memory is available.)

   Many Thanks,

   Efrat
