ANN: psutil 6.1.0 released
by Giampaolo Rodola' Oct. 18, 2024

Oct. 18, 2024

Hello all, I'm glad to announce the release of psutil 6.1.0: 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, … [View More]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 2.7 and 3.6+. PyPy is also known to work. What's new ========== 2024-10-17 **Enhancements** - #2366, [Windows]: drastically speedup `process_iter()`_. We now determine process unique identity by using process "fast" create time method. This will considerably speedup those apps which use `process_iter()`_ only once, e.g. to look for a process with a certain name. - #2446: use pytest instead of unittest. - #2448: add ``make install-sysdeps`` target to install the necessary system dependencies (python-dev, gcc, etc.) on all supported UNIX flavors. - #2449: add ``make install-pydeps-test`` and ``make install-pydeps-dev`` targets. They can be used to install dependencies meant for running tests and for local development. They can also be installed via ``pip install .[test]`` and ``pip install .[dev]``. - #2456: allow to run tests via ``python3 -m psutil.tests`` even if ``pytest`` module is not installed. This is useful for production environments that don't have pytest installed, but still want to be able to test psutil installation. **Bug fixes** - #2427: psutil (segfault) on import in the free-threaded (no GIL) version of Python 3.13. (patch by Sam Gross) - #2455, [Linux]: ``IndexError`` may occur when reading /proc/pid/stat and field 40 (blkio_ticks) is missing. - #2457, [AIX]: significantly improve the speed of `Process.open_files()`_ for some edge cases. - #2460, [OpenBSD]: `Process.num_fds()`_ and `Process.open_files()`_ may fail with `NoSuchProcess`_ for PID 0. Instead, we now return "null" values (0 and [] respectively).

[RELEASE] Python 3.14.0 alpha 1 is now available
by Hugo van Kemenade Oct. 16, 2024

Oct. 16, 2024

It's now time for a new alpha of a new version of Python! https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3140a1/ **This is an early developer preview of Python 3.14** # Major new features of the 3.14 series, compared to 3.13 Python 3.14 is still in development. This release, 3.14.0a1 is the first of seven planned alpha releases. Alpha releases are intended to make it easier to test the current state of new features and bug fixes and to test the release process. During the alpha phase, … [View More]features may be added up until the start of the beta phase (2025-05-06) and, if necessary, may be modified or deleted up until the release candidate phase (2025-07-22). Please keep in mind that this is a preview release and its use is **not** recommended for production environments. Many new features for Python 3.14 are still being planned and written. Among the new major new features and changes so far: * PEP 649 (https://peps.python.org/pep-0649/): deferred evaluation of annotations ( https://docs.python.org/3.14/whatsnew/3.14.html#pep-649-deferred-evaluation… ) * Improved error messages ( https://docs.python.org/3.14/whatsnew/3.14.html#improved-error-messages) * (Hey, **fellow core developer,** if a feature you find important is missing from this list, [let Hugo know (hugo(a)python.org).) The next pre-release of Python 3.14 will be 3.14.0a2, currently scheduled for 2024-11-19. # More resources * Online documentation: https://docs.python.org/3.14/ * PEP 745, 3.14 Release Schedule: https://peps.python.org/pep-0719/ * Report bugs at https://github.com/python/cpython/issues * Help fund Python and its community: https://www.python.org/psf/donations/ # And now for something completely different π (or pi) is a mathematical constant, approximately 3.14, for the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It is an irrational number, which means it cannot be written as a simple fraction of two integers. When written as a decimal, its digits go on forever without ever repeating a pattern. Here's 76 digits of π: 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286 Piphilology is the creation of mnemonics to help remember digits of π. In a pi-poem, or "piem", the number of letters in a word equal the corresponding digit. This covers 9 digits, 3.14159265: > *How I wish I could recollect pi easily today!* One of the most well-known covers 15 digits, 3.14159265358979: > *How I want a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy chapters involving quantum mechanics!* Here's a 35-word piem in the shape of a circle, 3.1415926535897932384626433832795728: It's a fact A ratio immutable Of circle round and width, Produces geometry's deepest conundrum. For as the numerals stay random, No repeat lets out its presence, Yet it forever stretches forth. Nothing to eternity. The Guiness World Record for memorising the most digits is held by Rajveer Meena, who recited 70,000 digits blindfold in 2015. The unofficial record is held by Akira Haraguchi who recited 100,000 digits in 2006. # Enjoy the new release Thanks to all of the many volunteers who help make Python Development and these releases possible! Please consider supporting our efforts by volunteering yourself or through organization contributions to the Python Software Foundation.
