How do I find the memory used by a python process
I'm trying to create a python unit-test which will test a complex program which includes a number of functions which have been implemented in C or C++. The unit-test needs to check that after the functions have been run a few thousand times all of the memory used by those functions has been un-allocated, i.e. that there are no memory leaks. I was wondering if there is some way of finding out how much memory the current thread is using. I would like some kind of simple function call that gives me the current memory usage of the current process or thread. So each test would check the amount of memory available, call the function N times and then check the amount of memory available afterwards. If the amount of memory before and after changes by a certain amount then the test is failed. All of our unit-tests are single threaded processes. We run Windows and Python 2.4. Any suggestions?

Python / Windows process control
Does anybody know of a python module which can do process management on Windows? The sort of thing that we might usually do with taskmgr.exe or process explorer? For example: * Kill a process by ID * Find out which process ID is locking an object in the filesystem * Find out all the IDs of a particular .exe file * Find all the details of a currently running process (e.g. given an ID tell me which files it uses, niceness, runtime) Thanks!

Re: Why nested scope rules do not apply to inner Class?
> I'm wondering as well if the new nonlocal statement will fix that in py3k? The "class C3" statement is executing before the "class B" statement has concluded, so at that time B does not exist in any scope at all, not even globals(). You could reference B.C1 inside a method because a method is executed AFTER the class is defined. class A(object): pass class B(object): class C1(object): pass class C2(C1): foo = A class C3(object): @staticmethod def test( ): print repr( B.C1 ) print repr( B.C2 ) B.C3.test() :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Using UNC paths for --find-links in easy_install on Windows
A project I'm working on requires a Python egg to be deployed to a remote location which (because of a security configuration outside my control) denies users web-access but allows users access to networked file-systems. It has been proposed that rather than creating a web- repository for python eggs we store these on a local file-server. Has anybody had any luck using the --find_options argument to easy_install with a local folder (e.g. on a Windows C: Drive) or a network folder, for example easy_install --find-links="http://server/egs"; myegg==1.0.1 that sort of thing works fine but what about: easy_install --find-links="c:\myeggs\" myegg==1.0.1 or even: easy_install --find-links="file:///c:/myeggs" myegg==1.01 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Retrieve Win32 domain name
I'm looking for a method to retrieve a Windows Domain name (not a DNS Domain name). I know this can be done by simply reading an environment variable, however on the machines I need to work with sometimes the environment variables can be messed-up and are not trustworthy. Is there somebody who knows the Win32 library who can point me to the function I need? The Win32Net seems to contain a whole load of functions for manipulating Windows networking resources, however I couldn't find a function which simply returned information about the local computer. Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

DHT for Python 3.x?
There are plenty of good DHT projects for Python 2.x, however from what I can tell none of them have made the jump to 3.x yet. I'm really keen to support Python 3.x for a project I'm working on. I know that many developers (correctly) consider switching to Python 3 foolish since it is less supported at the moment, but nevertheless I am keen to carry on. So can somebody recommend me a working implementation of a DHT which will work on Python 3.x and preferably Python 2.6 as well. Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
