|
| +Introduction
|
| +============
|
| +
|
| +psutil is a module providing an interface for retrieving information on running
|
| +processes in a portable way by using Python.
|
| +It currently supports Linux, OS X, FreeBSD and Windows.
|
| +
|
| +psutil website is at http://code.google.com/p/psutil/
|
| +
|
| +The following document describes how to compile and install psutil from sources
|
| +on different platforms.
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Using easy_install
|
| +==================
|
| +
|
| +The easiest way to install psutil from sources is using easy_install.
|
| +Get the latest easy_install version from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
|
| +and just run:
|
| +
|
| + > python easy_install psutil
|
| +
|
| +This should get the most updated psutil version from the Python pypi repository,
|
| +unpack it, compile it and install it automatically.
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Installing on Windows using mingw32
|
| +===================================
|
| +
|
| +After the mingw [1] environment is properly set up on your system you can
|
| +compile Windows sources by entering:
|
| +
|
| + > setup.py build -c mingw32
|
| +
|
| +To compile and install just append the "install" keyword at the end of the
|
| +command line above, like this:
|
| +
|
| + > setup.py build -c mingw32 install
|
| +
|
| +It might be possible that distutils will complain about missing gcc executable.
|
| +That means you have to add mingw bin PATH variable first.
|
| +Entering this line in the command prompt should do the work:
|
| +
|
| + > SET PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH%
|
| +
|
| +NOTE: this assumes MinGW is installed in C:\MinGW, if not simply replace the
|
| +path in the command above with an appropriate location.

|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Installing on Windows using Visual Studio
|
| +=========================================
|
| +
|
| +To use Visual Studio to install psutil, you must have the same version of
|
| +Visual Studio used to compile your installation of Python. For older versions
|
| +of Python that will be Visual Studio 2003. For 2.6 and later it should be
|
| +Visual Studio 2008. If you do not have the requisite version of Visual Studio
|
| +available then it is recommended to use MinGW to compile psutil instead.
|
| +
|
| +If you do have Visual Studio installed, you can use the basic distutils
|
| +commands:
|
| +
|
| + > setup.py build
|
| +
|
| +or to install and build:
|
| +
|
| + > setup.py install
|
| +
|
| +distutils should take care of any necessary magic to compile from there.
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Installing on OS X
|
| +==================
|
| +
|
| +OS X installation from source will require gcc which you can obtain as part of
|
| +the 'XcodeTools' installer from Apple. Then you can run the standard distutils
|
| +commands:
|
| +
|
| +to build only:
|
| +
|
| + > ./setup.py build
|
| +
|
| +to install and build:
|
| +
|
| + > ./setup.py install
|
| +
|
| +NOTE: due to developer's hardware limitations psutil has only been compiled and
|
| +tested on OS X 10.4.11 so may or may not work on other versions.
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Installing on FreeBSD
|
| +=====================
|
| +
|
| +The same compiler used to install Python must be present on the system in order
|
| +to build modules using distutils. Assuming it is installed, you can build using
|
| +the standard distutils commands:
|
| +
|
| +build only:
|
| +
|
| + > ./setup.py build
|
| +
|
| +install and build:
|
| +
|
| + > ./setup.py install
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Installing on Linux
|
| +===================
|
| +
|
| +Standard distutils installation steps should apply here. At the current time
|
| +the Linux port of psutil does not require any C modules, so can be installed
|
| +without need for a compiler using disutils:
|
| +
|
| +install/build:
|
| +
|
| + > ./setup.py install
|
|
