本文深入解析Python第三方库psutil，介绍其跨平台特性及在Linux、Windows等系统上的应用。通过具体代码示例，详细演示如何利用psutil获取CPU、内存、磁盘、网络及进程信息，为构建Python监控脚本或系统管理工具提供实用参考。

psutil模块简介与平台支持

本文详细解析Python中用于服务器监控的实用工具psutil，通过丰富的示例代码展示其功能，为学习或工作提供有价值的参考。

除了安装常规监控软件，有时还需通过Shell或Python脚本进行服务器监控。Shell环境下可使用ps、free、top、df等内置命令；Python虽可调用subprocess模块执行Shell命令，但操作较为繁琐。相比之下，使用第三方模块psutil更为便捷高效。

psutil是一个跨平台Python库，用于检索运行进程及系统资源利用率（包括CPU、内存、磁盘、网络、传感器）的信息，主要应用于系统监视、资源分析及进程管理。它实现了ps、top、lsof、netstat、ifconfig、who、df、kill、free、nice、ionice、iostat、iotop、uptime、pidof、tty、taskset、pmap等Unix命令行工具的功能。目前支持的平台包括：

Linux
Windows
OSX
FreeBSD、OpenBSD、NetBSD
Sun Solaris
AIX

...

以及所有运行Python 2.6至3.6版本的32位和64位架构系统，同时也支持PyPy环境。

psutil安装与环境要求

安装

本文示例均在Python 3.6环境下运行；


# pip3 install psutil
