Getting processor information in Python

Question

Using Python is there any way to find out the processor information... (I need the name)

I need the name of the processor that the interpreter is running on. I checked the sys module but it has no such function.

I can use an external library also if required.

Answer 1

The platform.processor() function returns the processor name as a string.

>>> import platform
>>> platform.processor()
