ANN: psutil 4.3.1 released
by Giampaolo Rodola' 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Hello all, I'm glad to announce the release of psutil 4.3.1: https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil 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, OSX, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD, both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, with Python versions from 2.6 to 3.5 (users of Python 2.4 and 2.5 may use 2.1.3 version). PyPy is also known to work. What's new ========== **Enhancements** - #881: "make install" now works also when using a virtual env. **Bug fixes** - #854: Process.as_dict() raises ValueError if passed an erroneous attrs name. - #857: [SunOS] Process cpu_times(), cpu_percent(), threads() amd memory_maps() may raise RuntimeError if attempting to query a 64bit process with a 32bit python. "Null" values are returned as a fallback. - #858: Process.as_dict() should not return memory_info_ex() because it's deprecated. - #863: [Windows] memory_map truncates addresses above 32 bits - #866: [Windows] win_service_iter() and services in general are not able to handle unicode service names / descriptions. - #869: [Windows] Process.wait() may raise TimeoutExpired with wrong timeout unit (ms instead of sec). - #870: [Windows] Handle leak inside psutil_get_process_data. Links ===== - Home page: https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil - Download: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/psutil - Documentation: http://pythonhosted.org/psutil - What's new: https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/blob/master/HISTORY.rst -- Giampaolo - http://grodola.blogspot.com

attrs 16.1.0
by Hynek Schlawack 01 Sep '16

01 Sep '16

I’m happy to announce that attrs 16.1.0 hit PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/attrs/ attrs is the Python package that will bring back the joy of writing classes by relieving you from the drudgery of implementing object protocols (aka dunder methods). Its main goal is to help you to write concise and correct software without slowing down your code. Leading Python Though Lords™ have called it “The One Python Library Everyone Needs”: https://glyph.twistedmatrix.com/2016/08/attrs.html (subtitle: “Use attrs. Use it. Use it for everything.”) The main change is the option of having frozen (i.e. immutable) classes which allows for value types in Python. See the full changes at https://attrs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changelog.html and never again violate the single responsibility principle just because implementing __init__ et al is a painful drag! Cheers, Hynek Schlawack
