Py-cpuinfo gets CPU info with pure Python. Py-cpuinfo should work without any extra programs or libraries, beyond what your OS provides. It does not require any compilation(C/C++, assembly, et cetera) to use. It works with Python 3.

Example

if __name__ == '__main__':
    from cpuinfo import get_cpu_info

    for key, value in get_cpu_info().items():
        print("{0}: {1}".format(key, value))
