[python-win32] WMI processor class is very slow?

Hi all, I wrote a couple hours ago asking why wmi information about my processor (core and overall load) is very slow, delaying up to ten or fifteen seconds when disk and ram information is immediate. Here is the link to the zipped project file. I do not have svn or anything fancy like that. Note t

Re: [python-win32] wmi: processor class seems slow

I do specify the field(s) I want, but this has not significant affect on processor-related information access times. I will upload a zip file of the entire thing, including dependencies, to my site soon and will email the list with the above question (for reference) and a link to the zip file. Than

Hi all, I have a script that gets the load of a given core, or the average of all cores, along with other information, like free ram and hard disk space. The script runs fine, but when I give it processor-related commands it is sometimes rather fast and sometimes quite slow. Delays range from one t

Re: [python-win32] How to enumerate a WMI object to discover its properties?

Hi Tim, Thanks to your help, here's what I'm using to record interesting information about our workstation inventory. It works great! c = wmi.WMI().Win32_ComputerSystem computer = c()[0] for propertyName in sorted( list( c.properties ) ): print '%s = %s' % ( propertyName, getattr( compute

[python-win32] MIDL & MakePy

Hi all, Can anyone explain how MakePy interprets COM IDL? If I define: HRESULT Test([out] byte* outp); Makepy generates: """method Test""" return self._ApplyTypes_(3, 1, (24, 0), ((16401, 2),), u'Test', None,outp) and I can interpret (16401,2) as VT_UI1, BYREF and OUT. If, however, I defin
