Question

I am trying to poll a process using poll() from python. link

I don’t understand, I am supplying an integral value for it to poll. for example: the value is 14870

14870
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 29, in <module>
    parse_file(input_csv[0])
  File "test.py", line 24, in parse_file
    ret = pid[r].poll()
AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'poll'

I failed to find anywhere in the documentation about what datatype it is..

You could execute the following:

from os import system
_proc_status = system('/proc/' + str(pid) + '/status')
