ANN: psutil 0.5.0 released

[Giampaolo Rodola']

Hi folks,

I'm pleased to announce the 0.5.0 release of psutil:

http://code.google.com/p/psutil/

=== Major new features ===

- system users

- (Linux, Windows) process CPU affinity (get and set)

- (POSIX) process number of opened file descriptors.

- (Windows) process number of opened handles.

- psutil.disk_partitions() now provides also mount options

- new Process.as_dict() method.

- Process.get_children(recursive=True): return all process descendants.

- 2to3 is not longer required to run at installation time in order to support Python 3

- ppid, name, exe, cmdline and create_time properties of Process class are now cached after being accessed.

- psutil.process_iter() now caches Process instances between calls.

For a complete list of features and bug fixes see:

http://psutil.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/HISTORY

=== New features by example ===

>>> import psutil, os

>>>

>>> psutil.get_users()

[user(name='giampaolo', terminal='pts/2', host='localhost', started=1340737536.0),

 user(name='giampaolo', terminal='pts/3', host='localhost', started=1340737792.0)]

>>>

>>> psutil.disk_partitions()

[partition(device='/dev/sda1', mountpoint='/', fstype='ext4', opts='rw,nosuid'),

 partition(device='/dev/sda2', mountpoint='/home', fstype='ext, opts='rw')]

>>>

>>> p = psutil.Process(os.getpid())

>>> p.get_num_fds()

4

>>>

>>> p.get_num_handles()  # windows only

254

>>>

>>> p.get_memory_maps()

[mmap(path='/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libutil-2.15.so', rss=16384, anonymous=8192, swap=0),

 mmap(path='/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.15.so', rss=6384, anonymous=15, swap=0),

 mmap(path='/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0', rss=34124, anonymous=1245, swap=0),

 mmap(path='[heap]', rss=54653, anonymous=8192, swap=0),

 mmap(path='[stack]', rss=1542, anonymous=166, swap=0),

 ...]

>>>

>>> p.as_dict()

{'status': 0, 'pid': 29510, 'connections': [], 'cmdline': ['python'], ...}

>>>

>>> p.get_cpu_affinity()

[0, 1, 2, 3]

>>> p.set_cpu_affinity([0])

>>>

>>> p.get_children(recursive=True)

[<Process...>, <Process...>, ...]

>>>

=== Compatitility notes ===

0.5.0 version does not introduce any backward incompatibility. Nevertheless

it introduces some deprecations warnings:

- Process.nice property is deprecated in favor of new get_nice() and set_nice() methods.

- psutil.get_process_list() is deprecated.

- ppid, name, exe, cmdline and create_time properties of Process class are now cached after being accessed, meaning NoSuchProcess will no longer be raised in case the process is gone in the meantime.

- psutil.STATUS_* constants can now be compared by using their string representation.

I see the docs/ dir was removed from the released tarball - was that on purpose?

I was installing it in the Debian package, but just because it was
there :) There's a reference to the Google Code website, so I think I
can live with that. Thanks for the prompt reply.
