Hello Adam
Yes, PSI is actively maintained. That means it gets bug fixes applied
whenever found, you can see those trickling in the repo if you look at the
commits.
And while new development is currently dormant there are still plans on
adding new features. There are even a few branches around with some new

Will there be any work on PSI?

papas...@gmail.com (Adam) — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:45:35 UT

Just wondering if there will ever be any new updates to PSI?

Hello again,
I've checked in a fix at our repository:

there. A release will hopefully follow soon.

Hi Olivier,
I'm afraid this is because I haven't updated the code to use a newer
Python/C API. psi uses the old PyCObject API, which was the only one
available when we wrote that part, rather then the newer PyCapsule
one. But what I didn't realise is that they stopped providing the
PyCObject API in 3.2, that's a bit sooner then I expected even though

Exceptions in attributes

f...@devork.be (Floris Bruynooghe) — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 15:04:34 UT

Hello all,
Currently psi uses structures with a status field for each value to,
e.g. pid_t pid; int pid_status;. You can then use PSI_STATUS_NI,
PSI_STATUS_OK, PSI_STATUS_NA and PSI_STATUS_PRIVS in the status field
to indicate the status of the field in the structure. When accessing
the attribute that uses this field we then get an exception if the

Re: [psi-discuss] Windows port?

f...@devork.be (Floris Bruynooghe) — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 11:01:51 UT

Hello Holger
The patch queue at [link] is a
version that contains psi.arch and most of psi.process.Process (sounds
like that's all you need), but still with some attributes missing.
I think it already contains everything you seem to be after though, if
you don't need ProcessTable().

Windows port?

holger.kre...@gmail.com (holger krekel) — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 08:38:43 UT

Hi all,

i am interested to use PSI for a new project after i was reminded of
it at a EuroPython2010 lightning talk. There it was mentioned that a
Windows port has high priority. May i ask how far this is off? I'd
be fine with just a subset of functionality, i guess. Querying
process status and some rudimentary RAM usage info.

Hi,
You don't say what system you are running on but I assume OS X as I get the same result on a Mac. Some process attributes are not able to be read from outside the process, even by the same owner, except by the super user. That is the case on some systems, anyway. The above code works fine on Linux, for example.

Here's the code:

import psi.process
import time
def do_nothing():
time.sleep(5)
proc = multiprocessing.Process(target =do_nothing)
proc.start()
p = psi.process.Process(proc.pid)
print 'Number of threads is: %s' % p.nthreads
And, when I run it as a normal user,
