sysinfo

Collect the facts about a computer that you want attached to a bug report: operating system, memory, disks, processor, and the Python interpreter itself. Accessible Apps uses it in issue_reporter, so problem reports arrive with the details already filled in.

Install

pip install git+https://github.com/accessibleapps/sysinfo.git

Needs Python 3.8 or newer and psutil. The sysinfo package on PyPI is a different project, so install from GitHub as shown.

Use it

import sysinfo

info = sysinfo.system_info()
info["operating_system"]["name"]   # "Windows"
info["memory"]["free"]             # bytes
info["interpreter"]["bit_width"]   # 32 or 64

system_info() returns a plain dictionary with these sections:

Key	What's in it
operating_system	name, bit width, kernel version and release
memory	total, free and used RAM, in bytes
storage	each fixed disk partition (device, mount point, filesystem, size and usage), plus the total size
processor	name, and user, system and idle CPU times
interpreter	bit width, Python version, byte order, API version, recursion limit, memory used, number of live objects, Python threads and OS threads
network	the machine's fully qualified host name
current_user	the user name

Each section also has its own function (memory(), storage(), processor() and so on) if you only need one.

Some values are only filled in on certain systems. The operating system bit width is only known for x86 and AMD64 machines (it's None elsewhere), and storage only lists partitions that psutil marks as fixed, which is a Windows option.

Be careful what you send: the result includes the user name and the host name.
