Do you mean the total amount of process virtual memory space still available? You can actually get that from the GlobalMemoryStatusEx API. There's no Python wrapper for that, as far as I know, but here's a ctypes wrapper. Note that this does not return the total CONTIGUOUS memory space, but for your purposes, that's probably not critical. from ctypes import * from ctypes.wintypes import * class MEMORYSTATUSEX(Structure): _fields_ = [ ('dwLength', DWORD), ('dwMemoryLoad', DWORD), ('ullTotalPhys', c_ulonglong), ('ullAvailPhys', c_ulonglong), ('ullTotalPageFile', c_ulonglong), ('ullAvailPageFile', c_ulonglong), ('ullTotalVirtual', c_ulonglong), ('ullAvailVirtual', c_ulonglong), ('ullExtendedVirtual', c_ulonglong), ] def GlobalMemoryStatusEx(): x = MEMORYSTATUSEX() x.dwLength = sizeof(x) windll.kernel32.GlobalMemoryStatusEx(byref(x)) return x z = GlobalMemoryStatusEx() print z.ullAvailVirtual -- Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
