About
=====

psutil (process and system utilities) is a cross-platform library for retrieving information on running processes and system utilization (CPU, memory, disks, network) in Python. It is useful mainly for system monitoring, profiling and limiting process resources and management of running processes. It implements many functionalities offered by command line tools such as: ps, top, lsof, netstat, ifconfig, who, df, kill, free, nice, ionice, iostat, iotop, uptime, pidof, tty, taskset, pmap. It currently supports Linux, Windows, macOS, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and AIX. Supported Python versions are cPython 3.6+ and PyPy.

What's new
==========

2025-12-23

**Enhancements**

- #1275: new `heap_info()`_ and `heap_trim()`_ functions, providing direct
  access to the platform's native C heap allocator (glibc, mimalloc,
  libmalloc). Useful to create tools to detect memory leaks.
- #2403, [Linux]: publish wheels for Linux musl.
- #2680: unit tests are no longer installed / part of the distribution. They
  now live under `tests/` instead of `psutil/tests`.

**Bug fixes**

* 2684_, [FreeBSD], [critical]: compilation fails on FreeBSD 14 due to missing
  include.
* 2691_, [Windows]: fix memory leak in `net_if_stats()`_ due to missing
  ``Py_CLEAR``.

**Compatibility notes**

- #2680: `import psutil.tests` no longer works (but it was never documented to
  begin with).
