[issue10784] os.getpriority() and os.setpriority()

[Giampaolo Rodola']

New submission from Giampaolo Rodola' <g.rodola at gmail.com>:

After having implemented a similar thing in psutil ( http://code.google.com/p/psutil/issues/detail?id=142 ) I decided to contribute a patch for Python which exposes getpriority() and setpriority() POSIX calls in the os module.

They can be used to get/set process niceness/priority in a fashion similar to os.nice() but extended to *all* processes instead of just os.getpid():
