HIGHER PRIORITY
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
* #387: system-wide connections (netstat).
|
|
* OpenBSD support.
|
|
|
|
* #371: CPU temperature (apparently OSX and Linux only; on Linux it requires
|
|
lm-sensors lib).
|
|
|
|
* #250: net ifaces speed.
|
|
|
|
* (Linux) resource limit get/set - see man prlimit.
|
|
|
|
* Process.name on Windows is slow:
|
|
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6587036/
|
|
|
|
* Windows binary for Python 3.3 64-bit.
|
|
|
|
* #269: expose network ifaces RX/TW queues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
LOWER PRIORITY
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
* #355: Android support.
|
|
|
|
* #276: GNU/Hurd support.
|
|
|
|
* NetBSD support?
|
|
|
|
* DranflyBSD support?
|
|
|
|
* AIX support?
|
|
|
|
* examples/pidof.py (same as 'pidof' cli tool)
|
|
|
|
* examples/pstree.py (same as 'pstree' cli tool)
|
|
* get_threads() should also return thread names in order to implement it
|
|
|
|
* examples/taskmgr-gui.py (using tk).
|
|
|
|
* system-wide # open file descriptors:
|
|
* https://jira.hyperic.com/browse/SIGAR-30
|
|
* http://www.netadmintools.com/part295.html
|
|
|
|
* Number of system threads.
|
|
* Windows: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684824(v=vs.85).aspx
|
|
|
|
* #357: what CPU a process is on.
|
|
|
|
* thread names:

DEBATABLE
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
* [Linux]: process cgroups (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups). They look
|
|
similar to prlimit() in terms of functionality but uglier (they should allow
|
|
limiting per-process network IO resources though, which is great). Needs
|
|
further reading.
|
|
|
|
* cpu_percent(): current default interval is 0.1 so that by default it will
|
|
produce a meaningful value. It represents a trap in case the user iterates
|
|
over multiple processes though, as it introduces a big slowdown.
|
|
Should it default to 0.0?
|
|
|
|
* Rename connection ntuple's fields 'local_address', 'remote_address' to
|
|
'laddr', 'raddr' (note in accordance with http://bugs.python.org/issue17675)
|
|
|
|
* Process per-cpus percent (XXX Windows only?), see:
|
|
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/psutil/ErrKTxAbu50
|
|
|
|
* Should we expose OS constants (psutil.WINDOWS, psutil.OSX etc.)?
|
|
|
|
* Python 3.3. exposed different sched.h functions:
|
|
http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.3.html#os
|
|
http://bugs.python.org/issue12655
|
|
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/os.html#interface-to-the-scheduler
|
|
It might be worth to take a look and figure out whether we can include some
|
|
of those in psutil.
|
|
Also, we can probably reimplement wait_pid() on POSIX which is currently
|
|
implemented as a busy-loop.
|
|
|
|
* Certain systems (XXX figure out which ones exactly) provide CPU times about
|
|
process children. On those systems Process.get_cpu_times() might return
|
|
a (user, system, user_children, system_children) ntuple.
