Hi all,
Is it possible for me to put a limit in the amount of processor usage (%
CPU) that my current python script is using? Is there any module useful
for this task? I saw Resource module but I think it is not the module I
am looking for. Some people recommend to use nice and cpulimit unix
tools, but those are external to python and I prefer a python solution.
I am working with Linux (Ubuntu 10.04).
Call the external tools with subprocess.open.
I meant to end that with ? as I don't know how easy it is to get the
external id of the calling process that is to be limited. I presume that
can be done by first calling ps (with subprocess) and searching the
piped-back output.
