Summary
=======

psutil (process and system utilities) is a cross-platform library for
retrieving information on **running processes** and **system utilization**
(CPU, memory, disks, network, sensors) 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 classic UNIX command line tools
such as *ps, top, iotop, lsof, netstat, ifconfig, free* and others.
psutil currently supports the following platforms:

- **Linux**
- **Windows**
- **macOS**
- **FreeBSD, OpenBSD**, **NetBSD**
- **Sun Solaris**
- **AIX**

Supported Python versions are cPython 3.6+ and `PyPy <https://pypy.org/>`__.
Latest psutil version supporting Python 2.7 is
`psutil 6.1.1 <https://pypi.org/project/psutil/6.1.1/>`__.

Funding
=======

While psutil is free software and will always be, the project would benefit
immensely from some funding.
Keeping up with bug reports and maintenance has become hardly sustainable for
me alone in terms of time.
If you're a company that's making significant use of psutil you can consider
becoming a sponsor via `GitHub Sponsors <https://github.com/sponsors/giampaolo>`__,
`Open Collective <https://opencollective.com/psutil>`__ or
`PayPal <https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=A9ZS7PKKRM3S8>`__
and have your logo displayed in here and psutil `doc <https://psutil.readthedocs.io>`__.
