A partial reimplementation of psutil in pure Python using ctypes. Currently, only Linux, macOS, and the BSDs are supported, but Windows support is planned.

[Documentation](https://pypsutil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)

## Example usage

`pypsutil`'s API is very similar to `psutil`'s:

```

>>> import pypsutil

>>> p = pypsutil.Process()

>>> p.pid

477967

>>> p

Process(pid=477967, name='python3', status='running', started='12:00:40')

>>> p.name()

'python3'

>>> p.exe()

'/usr/bin/python3.9'

>>> p.cwd()

'/tmp'

>>> p.cmdline()

['python3']

>>> p.terminal()

'/dev/pts/6'

>>> p.status()

>>> p.ppid()

477771

>>> p.parent()

Process(pid=477771, name='bash', status='sleeping', started='12:00:33')

```
