Question

I’m trying to write psutil.test() to a file but i can’t get it to work. Is there anyway to do this?

This is the code im using:

import psutil
import tkMessageBox

def Sysinfo():
 test = psutil.test()
 tkMessageBox.showinfo(title='testing',message=test)
 FILE = open("sysinfo.txt","w")
 FILE.write(str(test))
 FILE.close()

Sysinfo()

The file contains the line “None”.

In prompt psutils.test() shows :

USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY START TIME COMMAND
root 1 0.0 0.1 3532 1944 ? 14:23 00:00 init
root 2 0.0 ? ? ? ? 14:23 00:00 kthreadd
root 3 0.0 ? ? ? ? 14:23 00:00 ksoftirqd/0
root 5 0.0 ? ? ? ? 14:23 00:00 kworker/u:0
root 6 0.0 ? ? ? ? 14:23 00:00 migration/0
etc..

Answer 1

Try this:

def SysInfo():
  oldstdout = sys.stdout
  sys.stdout = open("sysinfo.txt","w")
  psutil.test()
  sys.stdout.close()
  sys.stdout = oldstdout
SysInfo()

This will redirect the stdout to the file, write to it and then give you the correct answer.
