How to limit CPU usage in Python

Thu Sep 20 11:12:44 EDT 2012

Hi all,

Is it possible for me to put a limit in the amount of processor usage (% 
CPU) that my current python script is using? Is there any module useful 
for this task? I saw Resource module but I think it is not the module I 
am looking for. Some people recommend to use nice and cpulimit unix 
tools, but those are external to python and I prefer a python solution. 
I am working with Linux (Ubuntu 10.04).

Best regards.
