pymel.core.system.memory¶
- memory(*args, **kwargs)¶
Used to query essential statistics on memory availability and usage. By default memory sizes are returned in bytes. Since Maya’s command engine only supports 32-bit signed integers, any returned value which cannot fit into 31 bits will be truncated to 2,147,483,647 and a warning message displayed. To avoid having memory sizes truncated use one of the memory size flags to return the value in larger units (e.g. megabytes) or use the asFloat flag to return the value as a float.
Flags:
Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties asFloat / af bool Causes numeric values to be returned as floats rather than ints. This can be useful if you wish to retain some of the significant digits lost when using the unit size flags. debug / dbg bool freeMemory / fr bool Returns size of free memory gigaByte / gb bool Return memory sizes in gigabytes (1024*1024*1024 bytes) heapMemory / he bool Returns size of memory heap kiloByte / kb bool Return memory sizes in kilobytes (1024 bytes) megaByte / mb bool Return memory sizes in megabytes (1024*1024 bytes) pageFaults / pf bool Returns number of page faults pageReclaims / pr bool Returns number of page reclaims physicalMemory / phy bool Returns size of physical memory summary / sum bool Returns a summary of memory usage. The size flags are ignored and all memory sizes are given in megabytes. swapFree / swf bool Returns size of free swap swapLogical / swl bool Returns size of logical swap swapMax / swm bool Returns maximum swap size swapPhysical / swp bool Returns size of physical swap swapReserved / swr bool swapVirtual / swv bool Returns size of virtual swap swaps / sw bool Returns number of swaps Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list. Derived from mel command maya.cmds.memory
Example:
import pymel.core as pm pm.memory(freeMemory=True) # Result: 0 # pm.memory(freeMemory=True megaByte=True) 521 pm.memory(freeMemory=True megaByte=True asFloat=True) 521.33203125
