Release Notes

giampaolo/psutil (psutil)

v7.1.3

Compare Source

=====

2025-11-02

Enhancements

  • 2667_: enforce clang-format on all C and header files. It is now the
    mandatory formatting style for all C sources.
  • 2672_, [macOS], [BSD]: increase the chances to recognize zombie processes and
    raise the appropriate exception (ZombieProcess_).
  • 2676_, 2678_: replace unsafe sprintf / snprintf / sprintf_s calls with
    str_format(). Replace strlcat / strlcpy with safe str_copy /
    str_append. This unifies string handling across platforms and reduces
    unsafe usage of standard string functions, improving robustness.

Bug fixes

  • 2674_, [Windows]: disk_usage()_ could truncate values on 32-bit platforms,
    potentially reporting incorrect total/free/used space for drives larger than
    4GB.
  • 2675_, [macOS]: Process.status()_ incorrectly returns "running" for 99%
    of the processes.
  • 2677_, [Windows]: fix MAC address string construction in net_if_addrs()_.
    Previously, the MAC address buffer was incorrectly updated using a fixed
    increment and sprintf_s, which could overflow or misformat the
    string if the MAC length or formatting changed. Also, the final '\n' was
    inserted unnecessarily.
  • 2679_, [OpenBSD], [NetBSD], [critical]: can't build due to C syntax error.

v7.1.2

Compare Source

=====

2025-10-25

Enhancements

  • 2657_: stop publishing prebuilt Linux and Windows wheels for 32-bit Python.
    32-bit CPython is still supported, but psutil must now be built from source.
    2565_: produce wheels for free-thread cPython 3.13 and 3.14 (patch by
    Lysandros Nikolaou)

Bug fixes

  • 2650_, [macOS]: Process.cmdline()_ and Process.environ()_ may incorrectly
    raise NoSuchProcess_ instead of ZombieProcess_.
  • 2658_, [macOS]: double free() in Process.environ()_ when it fails
    internally. This posed a risk of segfault.
  • 2662_, [macOS]: massive C code cleanup to guard against possible segfaults
    which were (not so) sporadically spotted on CI.

Compatibility notes

  • 2657_: stop publishing prebuilt Linux and Windows wheels for 32-bit Python.

v7.1.1

Compare Source

=====

2025-10-19

Enhancements

  • 2645_, [SunOS]: dropped support for SunOS 10.
  • 2646_, [SunOS]: add CI test runner for SunOS.

Bug fixes

  • 2641_, [SunOS]: cannot compile psutil from sources due to missing C include.
  • 2357_, [SunOS]: Process.cmdline()_ does not handle spaces properly. (patch
    by Ben Raz)

Compatibility notes

  • 2645_: SunOS 10 is no longer supported.

v7.1.0

Compare Source

=====

2025-09-17

Enhancements

  • 2581_, [Windows]: publish ARM64 wheels. (patch by Matthieu Darbois)
  • 2571_, [FreeBSD]: Dropped support for FreeBSD 8 and earlier. FreeBSD 8 was
    maintained from 2009 to 2013.
  • 2575_: introduced dprint CLI tool to format .yml and .md files.

Bug fixes

  • 2473_, [macOS]: Fix build issue on macOS 11 and lower.
  • 2494_, [Windows]: All APIs dealing with paths, such as
    Process.memory_maps(), Process.exe() and Process.open_files()_ does
    not properly handle UNC paths. Paths such as \\??\\C:\\Windows\\Temp and
    '\\Device\\HarddiskVolume1\\Windows\\Temp' are now converted to
    C:\\Windows\\Temp. (patch by Ben Peddell)
  • 2506_, [Windows]: Windows service APIs had issues with unicode services using
    special characters in their name.
  • 2514_, [Linux]: Process.cwd()_ sometimes fail with FileNotFoundError due
    to a race condition.
  • 2526_, [Linux]: Process.create_time(), which is used to univocally
    identify a process over time, is subject to system clock updates, and as such
    can lead to Process.is_running()
    returning a wrong result. A monotonic
    creation time is now used instead. (patch by Jonathan Kohler)
  • 2528_, [Linux]: Process.children()_ may raise PermissionError. It will
    now raise AccessDenied_ instead.
  • 2540_, [macOS]: boot_time()_ is off by 45 seconds (C precision issue).
  • 2541_, 2570_, 2578_ [Linux], [macOS], [NetBSD]: Process.create_time()_ does
    not reflect system clock updates.
  • 2542_: if system clock is updated Process.children()_ and
    Process.parent()_ may not be able to return the right information.
  • 2545_: [Illumos]: Fix handling of MIB2_UDP_ENTRY in net_connections()_.
  • 2552_, [Windows]: boot_time()_ didn't take into account the time spent
    during suspend / hibernation.
  • 2560_, [Linux]: Process.memory_maps()_ may crash with IndexError on
    RISCV64 due to a malformed /proc/{PID}/smaps file. (patch by Julien
    Stephan)
  • 2586_, [macOS], [CRITICAL]: fixed different places in C code which can
    trigger a segfault.
  • 2604_, [Linux]: virtual_memory()_ "used" memory does not match recent
    versions of free CLI utility. (patch by Isaac K. Ko)
  • 2605_, [Linux]: psutil.sensors_battery() reports a negative amount for
    seconds left.
  • 2607_, [Windows]: WindowsService.description() method may fail with
    ERROR_NOT_FOUND. Now it returns an empty string instead.
  • 2610:, [macOS], [CRITICAL]: fix cpu_freq()_ segfault on ARM architectures.

Compatibility notes

  • 2571_: dropped support for FreeBSD 8 and earlier.

v7.0.0

Compare Source

=====

2025-02-13

Enhancements

  • 669_, [Windows]: net_if_addrs()_ also returns the broadcast address
    instead of None.
  • 2480_: Python 2.7 is no longer supported. Latest version supporting Python
    2.7 is psutil 6.1.X. Install it with: pip2 install psutil==6.1.*.
  • 2490_: removed long deprecated Process.memory_info_ex() method. It was
    deprecated in psutil 4.0.0, released 8 years ago. Substitute is
    Process.memory_full_info().

Bug fixes

  • 2496_, [Linux]: Avoid segfault (a cPython bug) on Process.memory_maps()
    for processes that use hundreds of GBs of memory.
  • 2502_, [macOS]: virtual_memory()_ now relies on host_statistics64
    instead of host_statistics. This is the same approach used by vm_stat
    CLI tool, and should grant more accurate results.

Compatibility notes

  • 2480_: Python 2.7 is no longer supported.
  • 2490_: removed long deprecated Process.memory_info_ex() method.

v6.1.1

Compare Source

=====

2024-12-19

Enhancements

  • 2471_: use Vulture CLI tool to detect dead code.

Bug fixes

  • 2418_, [Linux]: fix race condition in case /proc/PID/stat does not exist, but
    /proc/PID does, resulting in FileNotFoundError.
  • 2470_, [Linux]: users()_ may return "localhost" instead of the actual IP
    address of the user logged in.

v6.1.0

Compare Source

=====

2024-10-17

Enhancements

  • 2366_, [Windows]: drastically speedup process_iter(). We now determine
    process unique identity by using process "fast" create time method. This
    will considerably speedup those apps which use process_iter()
    only once,
    e.g. to look for a process with a certain name.
  • 2446_: use pytest instead of unittest.
  • 2448_: add make install-sysdeps target to install the necessary system
    dependencies (python-dev, gcc, etc.) on all supported UNIX flavors.
  • 2449_: add make install-pydeps-test and make install-pydeps-dev
    targets. They can be used to install dependencies meant for running tests and
    for local development. They can also be installed via pip install .[test]
    and pip install .[dev].
  • 2456_: allow to run tests via python3 -m psutil.tests even if pytest
    module is not installed. This is useful for production environments that
    don't have pytest installed, but still want to be able to test psutil
    installation.

Bug fixes

  • 2427_: psutil (segfault) on import in the free-threaded (no GIL) version of
    Python 3.13. (patch by Sam Gross)
  • 2455_, [Linux]: IndexError may occur when reading /proc/pid/stat and
    field 40 (blkio_ticks) is missing.
  • 2457_, [AIX]: significantly improve the speed of Process.open_files()_ for
    some edge cases.
  • 2460_, [OpenBSD]: Process.num_fds()_ and Process.open_files()_ may fail
    with NoSuchProcess_ for PID 0. Instead, we now return "null" values (0 and
    [] respectively).
