Add API to gets system load average information #139

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Neither Python nor psutil has an API to get the current system load average as 
shown by tools like top. On Linux it's easy to retrieve the current load 
through /proc/loadavg, see http://www.linuxinsight.com/proc_loadavg.html

I've attached a patch with a simple implementation of get_load_average()

No opinion on the patch, but python does have this as of 2.3.  
http://docs.python.org/library/os.html#os.getloadavg

$ python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 15 2010, 16:22:56) 
[GCC 4.4.5] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.getloadavg()
(1.52, 1.6399999999999999, 1.5700000000000001)

Oh, you are right ...

I'm currently in the process of replacing custom code with psutil. Some of my 
code is really, really old and predates Python 2.3. I rolled my own 
implementation of getloadavg() using /proc/loadavg many years ago and never 
checked if the os module has grown an official implementation.

Please dismiss my feature request.

Closing out as won't fix. 
Thanks for the inputs btw. New ideas are always welcome.
