py-sysctl
py-sysctl is a wrapper for the sysctl* system functions. The core is written in C.
Examples
py-sysctl provides a very simple interface to access sysctls through the filter method.
Sysctls for CPU #0
>>> import sysctl >>> sysctl.filter('dev.cpu.0') [<Sysctl: dev.cpu.0.%desc>, <Sysctl: dev.cpu.0.%driver>, <Sysctl: dev.cpu.0.%location>, <Sysctl: dev.cpu.0.%pnpinfo>, <Sysctl: dev.cpu.0.%parent>, <Sysctl: dev.cpu.0.freq>, <Sysctl: dev.cpu.0.freq_levels>, <Sysctl: dev.cpu.0.cx_supported>, <Sysctl: dev.cpu.0.cx_lowest>, <Sysctl: dev.cpu.0.cx_usage>]
Inspect a sysctl
>>> import sysctl >>> shmall = sysctl.filter('kern.ipc.shmall')[0] >>> shmall.value 131072L >>> shmall.tuneable False >>> shmall.writable True
