5.3.0

=====

2017-09-01

Enhancements

  • 802_: disk_io_counters() and net_io_counters() numbers no longer wrap
    (restart from 0). Introduced a new "nowrap" argument.
  • 928_: psutil.net_connections() and psutil.Process.connections() "laddr" and
    "raddr" are now named tuples.
  • 1015_: swap_memory() now relies on /proc/meminfo instead of sysinfo() syscall
    so that it can be used in conjunction with PROCFS_PATH in order to retrieve
    memory info about Linux containers such as Docker and Heroku.
  • 1022_: psutil.users() provides a new "pid" field.
  • 1025_: process_iter() accepts two new parameters in order to invoke
    Process.as_dict(): "attrs" and "ad_value". With this you can iterate over all
    processes in one shot without needing to catch NoSuchProcess and do list/dict
    comprehensions.
  • 1040_: implemented full unicode support.
  • 1051_: disk_usage() on Python 3 is now able to accept bytes.
  • 1058_: test suite now enables all warnings by default.
  • 1060_: source distribution is dynamically generated so that it only includes
    relevant files.
  • 1079_: [FreeBSD] net_connections()'s fd number is now being set for real
    (instead of -1). (patch by Gleb Smirnoff)
  • 1091_: [SunOS] implemented Process.environ(). (patch by Oleksii Shevchuk)

Bug fixes

  • 989_: [Windows] boot_time() may return a negative value.
  • 1007_: [Windows] boot_time() can have a 1 sec fluctuation between calls; the
    value of the first call is now cached so that boot_time() always returns the
    same value if fluctuation is <= 1 second.
  • 1013_: [FreeBSD] psutil.net_connections() may return incorrect PID. (patch
    by Gleb Smirnoff)
  • 1014_: [Linux] Process class can mask legitimate ENOENT exceptions as
    NoSuchProcess.
  • 1016_: disk_io_counters() raises RuntimeError on a system with no disks.
  • 1017_: net_io_counters() raises RuntimeError on a system with no network
    cards installed.
  • 1021_: [Linux] open_files() may erroneously raise NoSuchProcess instead of
    skipping a file which gets deleted while open files are retrieved.
  • 1029_: [OSX, FreeBSD] Process.connections('unix') on Python 3 doesn't
    properly handle unicode paths and may raise UnicodeDecodeError.
  • 1033_: [OSX, FreeBSD] memory leak for net_connections() and
    Process.connections() when retrieving UNIX sockets (kind='unix').
  • 1040_: fixed many unicode related issues such as UnicodeDecodeError on
    Python 3 + UNIX and invalid encoded data on Windows.
  • 1042_: [FreeBSD] psutil won't compile on FreeBSD 12.
  • 1044_: [OSX] different Process methods incorrectly raise AccessDenied for
    zombie processes.
  • 1046_: [Windows] disk_partitions() on Windows overrides user's SetErrorMode.
  • 1047_: [Windows] Process username(): memory leak in case exception is thrown.
  • 1048_: [Windows] users()'s host field report an invalid IP address.
  • 1050_: [Windows] Process.memory_maps memory() leaks memory.
  • 1055_: cpu_count() is no longer cached; this is useful on systems such as
    Linux where CPUs can be disabled at runtime. This also reflects on
    Process.cpu_percent() which no longer uses the cache.
  • 1058_: fixed Python warnings.
  • 1062_: disk_io_counters() and net_io_counters() raise TypeError if no disks
    or NICs are installed on the system.
  • 1063_: [NetBSD] net_connections() may list incorrect sockets.
  • 1064_: [NetBSD] swap_memory() may segfault in case of error.
  • 1065_: [OpenBSD] Process.cmdline() may raise SystemError.
  • 1067_: [NetBSD] Process.cmdline() leaks memory if process has terminated.
  • 1069_: [FreeBSD] Process.cpu_num() may return 255 for certain kernel
    processes.

  • 1074_: [FreeBSD] sensors_battery() raises OSError in case of no battery.
  • 1075_: [Windows] net_if_addrs(): inet_ntop() return value is not checked.

    (patch by Oleksii Shevchuk)
  • 1077_: [SunOS] net_connections() does not work on SunOS 5.10. (patch by
    Oleksii Shevchuk)
  • 1079_: [FreeBSD] net_connections() didn't list locally connected sockets.
    (patch by Gleb Smirnoff)
  • 1085_: cpu_count() return value is now checked and forced to None if <= 1.
  • 1087_: Process.cpu_percent() guard against cpu_count() returning None and
    assumes 1 instead.
  • 1093_: [SunOS] memory_maps() shows wrong 64 bit addresses.
  • 1094_: [Windows] psutil.pid_exists() may lie. Also, all process APIs relying
    on OpenProcess Windows API now check whether the PID is actually running.
  • 1098_: [Windows] Process.wait() may erroneously return sooner, when the PID
    is still alive.
  • 1099_: [Windows] Process.terminate() may raise AccessDenied even if the
    process already died.
  • 1101_: [Linux] sensors_temperatures() may raise ENODEV.

Porting notes

  • 1039_: returned types consolidation:
  • Windows / Process.cpu_times(): fields 3 and 4 were int instead of float
  • Linux / FreeBSD: connections('unix'): raddr is now set to "" instead of
    None
  • OpenBSD: connections('unix'): laddr and raddr are now set to "" instead of
    None
  • 1040_: all strings are encoded by using OS fs encoding.
  • 1040_: the following Windows APIs on Python 2 now return a string instead of
    unicode:
  • Process.memory_maps().path
  • WindowsService.bin_path()
  • WindowsService.description()
  • WindowsService.display_name()
  • WindowsService.username()

In most cases accessing the old names will work but it will cause a
DeprecationWarning.

  • psutil.* module level constants have being replaced by functions:

+-----------------------+-------------------------------+
| Old name | Replacement |
+=======================+===============================+
| psutil.NUM_CPUS | psutil.cpu_cpunt() |
+-----------------------+-------------------------------+
| psutil.BOOT_TIME | psutil.boot_time() |

+--------------------------+----------------------+

  • All psutil.Process set_* methods lost the set_ prefix.
    Assuming "p = psutil.Process()":

+----------------------+---------------------------------+
| Old name | Replacement |
+======================+=================================+
| p.set_nice() | p.nice(value) |
