Hello all and thanks for the positive feedback. It's good to know psutil is
so appreciated and it's the best payback for all the hard work.
Personally I would be glad to offer psutil for inclusion into the stdlib
but at the moment I'm crazily busy with the relocation (I moved to Berlin
from Italy) and I wouldn't really have time to dedicate to such an
expensive task (which would probably also deserve a PEP) and careful
thinking. Also, I still want to work on a couple of new features first (NIC
addresses and stats), address a couple of high-priority issues such as:
https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/issues/512
https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/issues/496
https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/issues/428
...and be 100% sure that I'm happy with the API as it is right now (I
already went through a major breakage once, see
http://grodola.blogspot.com/2014/01/psutil-20-porting.html). In summary,
I'd love to do this but not right now as I'm not quite ready yet.
