New submission from Kurt Rose: The documentation in the resource module for get_page_size() is incorrect.
resource.getpagesize() Returns the number of bytes in a system page. (This need not be the same as the hardware page size.) This function is useful for determining the number of bytes of memory a process is using. The third element of the tuple returned by getrusage() describes memory usage in pages; multiplying by page size produces number of bytes. On Linux, the value returned in getrusage().ru_maxrss is in kilobytes. On OS-X it is in bytes. Ideally, this could be put into the documentation, but at least remove the inaccurate recommendation to multiply maxrss by page size :-) ---------- assignee: ronaldoussoren components: Macintosh messages: 209844 nosy: Kurt.Rose, ronaldoussoren priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: resource module documentation is incorrect versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2, Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20468> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
