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 :-) |
