Hello Alex, "NumberOfLogicalProcessors" might be the property you're looking for? Under XP I get the following when "print p" instance of Win32_Processor { AddressWidth = 32; Architecture = 0; Availability = 3; Caption = "x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6"; CpuStatus = 1; CreationClassName = "Win32_Processor"; CurrentClockSpeed = 2131; CurrentVoltage = 16; DataWidth = 32; Description = "x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6"; DeviceID = "CPU0"; ExtClock = 266; Family = 2; L2CacheSize = 2048; Level = 6; LoadPercentage = 0; Manufacturer = "GenuineIntel"; MaxClockSpeed = 2131; Name = "Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz"; NumberOfCores = 1; NumberOfLogicalProcessors = 2; PowerManagementSupported = FALSE; ProcessorId = "BFEBFBFF000006F6"; ProcessorType = 3; Revision = 3846; Role = "CPU"; SocketDesignation = ""; Status = "OK"; StatusInfo = 3; Stepping = "6"; SystemCreationClassName = "Win32_ComputerSystem"; SystemName = "JOHANNESSP2"; UpgradeMethod = 1; Version = "Model 15, Stepping 6"; }; -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Alex Hall Sent: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 4:48 AM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: WMI Hi all, I am playing around with WMI, trying to get the load of both cores of my dual core AMD processor. However, I am only getting one number, not two as I would expect. I thought I would get two numbers returned (I itterate through all the processors, at least I think I do). It is the same for all the other properties I have tried (clock speed, socket, more), just one piece of information, not one per core. Is there a way to get info about each core, or is this processor-specific? Windows 7 64 bit. Python code is below. import os, sys, wmi, win32com.client speaker=win32com.client.Dispatch("Say.Tools"); c=wmi.WMI(); for p in c.win32_Processor(): speaker.say(p.LoadPercentage); # end for speaker=None; Have a great day, Alex Email: mehgcap@xxxxxxxxx __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
