psutil-7.2.0 (Python Module)

[Douglas R. Reno]

New minor version

[Xi Ruoyao]

A new test dependency "psleak" is added.

[Bruce Dubbs]

7.2.0 - 2025-12-23

Enhancements

• 1275_: new heap_info()_ and heap_trim()_ functions, providing direct access to the platform's native C heap allocator (glibc, mimalloc, libmalloc). Useful to create tools to detect memory leaks.
• 2403_, [Linux]: publish wheels for Linux musl.
• 2680_: unit tests are no longer installed / part of the distribution. They now live under tests/ instead of psutil/tests.

Bug fixes

• 2684_, [FreeBSD], [critical]: compilation fails on FreeBSD 14 due to missing include.
• 2691_, [Windows]: fix memory leak in net_if_stats()_ due to missing Py_CLEAR.

Compatibility notes

• 2680_: import psutil.tests no longer works (but it was never documented to begin with).

[Bruce Dubbs]

Fixed at commit 9fce34d6e9.

[Bruce Dubbs]

Now version 7.2.1.

[Bruce Dubbs]

7.2.1 - 2025-12-29

Bug fixes

• 2699_, [FreeBSD], [NetBSD]: heap_info()_ does not detect small allocations (<= 1K). In order to fix that, we now flush internal jemalloc cache before fetching the metrics.
