本文实例讲述了python在linux系统下获取系统内存使用情况的方法。分享给大家供大家参考。具体如下：

"""Simple module for getting amount of memory used by a specified user's processes on a UNIX system.It uses UNIX ps utility to get the memory usage for a specified username and pipe it to awk for summing upper application memory usage and return the total.Python's Popen() from subprocess module is used for spawning ps and awk."""import subprocessclass MemoryMonitor(object): def __init__(self, username): """Create new MemoryMonitor instance.""" self.username = username def usage(self): """Return int containing memory used by user's processes.""" self.process = subprocess.Popen("ps -u %s -o rss | awk '{sum+=$1} END {print sum}'" % self.username, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, ) self.stdout_list = self.process.communicate()[0].split('\n') return int(self.stdout_list[0])

将上面的代码保存为：memorymonitor.py

调用方法如下：

from memorymonitor import MemoryMonitormemory_mon = MemoryMonitor('username')used_memory = memory_mon.usage()

希望本文所述对大家的Python程序设计有所帮助。
