Thanks! I just found that too! (Alan's suggestiom made me thing of
googling for "ps equivalent memory", and I found a reference to tasklist.
It's kludgy, but I have a proof-of-concept that only works if there's only
one instance of Python running:
def memusage():
import os
cmd = 'tasklist /fi "IMAGENAME eq python.exe" /FO table /nh'
output = os.popen(cmd).read()
processdata = output.split()
assert len(processdata) == 6
memsizeK_str = processdata[4]
memsizeK_str = memsizeK_str.replace(',','') # get rid of commas
return int(memsizeK_str)*1024
The obvious thing to do is to also filter by PID, which is the second
element; Of course that opens a new question: how to find one's own PID
from within Python. More googling awaits.....
