Get process parent #11

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
As a new feature, it would be nice to get the process parent as a psutil class.

Example:

>>> parent = psutil.parent(os.getpid())
>>> parent.pid
11038
>>> parentPID = psutil.Process(11038).parent.pid
>>> parentPID
1

Thank you.

I should clarify that this issue is not a defect, as automatically classified by
Google, but I didn't know how to post an "enhancement".

I think that a more convenient API would be:

>>> parent = psutil.Process(11038).parent  # the parent pid
>>> parent
1

...so that if you want to do something useful with the parent process you just
instantiate a new Process class:

>>> psutil.Process(parent)
<psutil.Process object at 0x00A87F70>

I'm gonna add this task in the roadmap.

Implemented for Linux and OS X as r103 - Windows platform to follow after I've 
had a
chance to research how to implement it and do some testing. For now Windows will
always return None for ppid.

Note: implemented as a "ppid" property currently, rather than "parent", to fit 
with
the traditional ps command's abbreviation.

Now implemented on Win32 also as r105

After some additional discussion, r109 now implements a "parent" property that
returns a Process object for the parent process.

Well, guys, thanks for the quick response. It's really a pleasure to give 
feedback to
a group so commited as yours.
I'm now giving my firsts steps to upload my own Python projects into Google 
Code.

You're more than welcome, after all we created the library to be used so it's 
great
to see feedback. Congratulations on being our first user to request an 
enhancement :-)
