async interface

Is there any plans to introduce async interface to the Process class?
In my use case I have multiple processes that I monitor and I want to "wait" for each process using the "wait()" method, currently it is blocking call so in order to do this I need to use "run_in_executor" which spawn a thread for each process.

Is there any other way of doing so without threads?

Both psutil.Process.wait() and psutil.wait_procs() can be passed timeout=0 and will act in a non-blocking fashion.

Thanks, I know that but I'm wondering if we can do it without polling, like:

`await process.wait()`

No, you have to build on top of that. You should run that in an async thread / task / coroutine. If you are using asyncio look for “run_in_executor”.
