Getting System Information

[the.anti.9]

Hello, I am new to python and I want to make a python program that will display some statistics about the computer its running on. Some of the stats would include:

• processor type (intel / amd)
• processor speed
• number of cpu cores
• number of hard drives and their sizes
• amount of system memory
• video card name
• video card ram
• video card interface type( pci / agp / pci-e)
• video output interface (dvi / vga / other)
• network interface speed (54mbps / 100mbps / 1000mpbs)
• OS
• logged in user

Probably some other things as well but this is my current list. Is there some sort of library or package I can use to get this information? Is it even possible to gather this information with Python?

This is highly platform-dependent. Python has only some few modules for minor system-related tasks, such as os and sys, so if you need to do what you're looking for you must find a external library, like you suggested yourself. I unfortunately not know about a module with the functionality you're looking for, but here's what you can do:

If you're on Windows, you shall use some of the Win32 API modules for Python, like win32api, win32file, etc. You can find an example on how to use it for finding free space here, and for the other tasks you have, you can check a reference, like MSDN.

On Linux you will most likely have to use some of the terminal commands, such as df and free, to receive the information you're looking for.

Python is a high-level language, so tasks such as the ones you're trying to perform can be harder, than in other low-level languages. If you're experienced in a language like C, you can write your own module for Python, and let the module do whatever you like.
