HardView

Hi HN, I just released HardView 3.2 a Python library to monitor hardware: CPU, RAM, temperatures, fans, and more. Most functions are cross-platform (Windows + Linux) Install via PyPI: pip install HardView Docs and source: https://github.com/gafoo173/HardView Curious to hear what you think!

Hey HN! I built HardView, a cross-platform project for Windows and Linux that provides hardware information and monitoring. It combines Python, C++, and C libraries, with optional kernel drivers, giving developers a unified interface for accessing system and hardware metrics. Supported Platforms: Windows and Linux, Python 3.8–3.14 Install (Python): pip install hardview More info / Docs: GitHub: https://github.com/gafoo173/HardView | Docs: https://gafoo173.github.io/HardView/ The project is MIT licensed, with some CLI/GUI tools under GPL3. Would love feedback from HN on performance, usability, and API design.

HardView is a native-speed Python module for real-time hardware monitoring and detailed system info — including CPU, RAM, disks, GPU, and full SMART data. Windows & Linux Real-time CPU/RAM tracking Advanced disk & SMART info Download: pip install HardVew

Title: HardView – Cross-platform Python module for hardware info (120+ fields, native performance) Post Text: I've been building a hardware/system information module in Python called HardView, and just released version 3.0.0. It’s designed to offer detailed, structured, and high-performance access to hardware data — kind of like lshw, dmidecode, or Windows WMI queries — but from Python and in a consistent cross-platform API. It supports both Linux and Windows, extracting over 120 hardware and performance metrics (BIOS, CPU, RAM, Disks, SMART, Network, etc.). You can get the data either as JSON strings or Python objects. Some highlights: Detailed Data: CPU architecture, disk SMART attributes, RAM modules, partitions, baseboard, and more. Native Performance: Core parts are written in C for speed. Live Monitoring: Real-time CPU and RAM usage

Hi HN, I built a Python module called HardView to retrieve low-level hardware and system info across platforms. I needed something fast, structured, and consistent across Windows and Linux — something that could handle BIOS data, CPU, memory, disks, network, SMART attributes, and real-time monitoring. Most existing tools (like psutil or pySMART) either didn’t go deep enough, weren’t cross-platform, or didn’t expose everything in JSON format — so I wrote my own in C, then exposed it as a Python module. Key features: BIOS/system/CPU/RAM/disk/network info SMART and partition info (disks) Real-time CPU/RAM/system usage monitoring JSON output and Python API It’s open-source and still evolving. Would love feedback, ideas, or contributions! GitHub: https://github.com/gafoo173/hardview
