Are there any methods in (C)Python to inspect the process’ current memory usage? In particular, I’d like to determine the high-water mark of memory usage in a testing script, but if necessary I don’t mind periodically checking memory usage and calculating the high water mark for myself.
EDIT: I’m looking for either a pure-python solution, or something which works on OS X.
Have a look at my answer to this question. It uses the
getrusage()function from the standard library’sresourcemodule, and works on Mac OS X.
