Memory

[Frank Ruiz]

Quick question,

What is the best way for pulling resource information for a system
running linux? Was wondering if there was a python only way.

Methods I am aware of are:

1. Parsing contents of /proc
2. Running a system command like free, or dmidecode and parsing the output.

Is there any other way to pull.. lets say memory information? i.e.
Find how much total RAM a system has on it.

Thanks you.
