| 4 A collection of ideas and notes about stuff to implement in future versions. | |
| 5 "#NNN" occurrences refer to bug tracker issues at: | |

| 9 HIGHER PRIORITY | |
| 10 =============== | |
| 11 | |
| 12 * #387: system-wide connections (netstat). | |
| 13 * OpenBSD support. | |
| 14 | |
| 15 * #371: CPU temperature (apparently OSX and Linux only; on Linux it requires | |
| 16 lm-sensors lib). | |
| 17 | |
| 18 * #250: net ifaces speed. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 * (Linux) resource limit get/set - see man prlimit. | |
| 21 | |
| 22 * Process.name on Windows is slow: | |
| 23 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6587036/ | |
| 24 | |
| 25 * Windows binary for Python 3.3 64-bit. | |
| 26 | |
| 27 * #269: expose network ifaces RX/TW queues. | |
| 28 | |
| 29 | |
| 30 LOWER PRIORITY | |
| 31 ============== | |
| 32 | |
| 33 * #355: Android support. | |
| 34 | |
| 35 * #276: GNU/Hurd support. | |
| 36 | |
| 37 * NetBSD support? | |
| 38 | |
| 39 * DranflyBSD support? | |
| 40 | |
| 41 * AIX support? | |
| 42 | |
| 43 * examples/pidof.py (same as 'pidof' cli tool) | |
| 44 | |
| 45 * examples/pstree.py (same as 'pstree' cli tool) | |
| 46 * get_threads() should also return thread names in order to implement it | |
| 47 | |
| 48 * examples/taskmgr-gui.py (using tk). | |
| 49 | |
| 50 * system-wide # open file descriptors: | |
| 51 * https://jira.hyperic.com/browse/SIGAR-30 | |
| 52 * http://www.netadmintools.com/part295.html | |
| 53 | |
| 54 * Number of system threads. | |
| 55 * Windows: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms684824(v=vs.85).aspx | |
| 56 | |
| 57 * #357: what CPU a process is on. | |
| 58 | |
| 59 * thread names: | |
| 60 * https://code.google.com/p/plcrashreporter/issues/detail?id=65 | |
| 61 | |
| 62 | |
| 63 DEBATABLE | |
| 64 ========= | |
| 65 | |
| 66 * [Linux]: process cgroups (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cgroups). They look | |
| 67 similar to prlimit() in terms of functionality but uglier (they should allow | |
| 68 limiting per-process network IO resources though, which is great). Needs | |
| 69 further reading. | |
| 70 | |
| 71 * cpu_percent(): current default interval is 0.1 so that by default it will | |
| 72 produce a meaningful value. It represents a trap in case the user iterates | |
| 73 over multiple processes though, as it introduces a big slowdown. | |
| 74 Should it default to 0.0? | |
| 75 | |
| 76 * Rename connection ntuple's fields 'local_address', 'remote_address' to | |
| 77 'laddr', 'raddr' (note in accordance with http://bugs.python.org/issue17675) | |
| 78 | |
| 79 * Process per-cpus percent (XXX Windows only?), see: | |
| 80 https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/psutil/ErrKTxAbu50 | |
| 81 | |
| 82 * Should we expose OS constants (psutil.WINDOWS, psutil.OSX etc.)? | |
| 83 | |
| 84 * Python 3.3. exposed different sched.h functions: | |
| 85 http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.3.html#os | |
| 86 http://bugs.python.org/issue12655 | |
| 87 http://docs.python.org/dev/library/os.html#interface-to-the-scheduler | |
| 88 It might be worth to take a look and figure out whether we can include some | |
| 89 of those in psutil. | |
| 90 Also, we can probably reimplement wait_pid() on POSIX which is currently | |
| 91 implemented as a busy-loop. | |
| 92 | |
| 93 * Certain systems (XXX figure out which ones exactly) provide CPU times about | |
| 94 process children. On those systems Process.get_cpu_times() might return | |
| 95 a (user, system, user_children, system_children) ntuple. |
