python - Pausing a process?

Question

Is there a way to pause a process (running from an executable) so that it stops the cpu load while it's paused, and waits till it's unpaused to go on with its work? Possibly in python, or in some way accessible by python.

Answer 1

By using psutil ( https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil ):

>>> import psutil
>>> somepid = 1023
>>> p = psutil.Process(somepid)
>>> p.suspend()
>>> p.resume()
