python 按照cpu的使用率对top中的进程排序（排序表格）

问题：解决如何在python中对表格（二维）进行排序？例如，按照cpu或mem的使用率对top中的进程排序

解决方法：
1. 使用numpy或者panda中的方法对二维矩阵进行操作
2. 使用二维数组（list）存储表格，然后按照某一列排序

下面实现方法二
假设top信息存在于与脚本同目录的txt文件中。具体信息如下：

step1：将文本内容读入list存放

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

lines = []
#read txt file line by line and stored in list
with open('top_info.txt', 'r') as f:
    lines = f.readlines()

print(len(lines))


print("initialize arrays:")
lines_len = len(lines) - 7       #info need to process
cols_name = [i for i in lines[6].split()]
arrays = [[0 for i in lines[6].split()] for i in range(lines_len)]                #initialize matrix

print(cols_name)
print(len(arrays))
print(*arrays, sep='\n')   #print element in multi lines

运行结果：

step2 : 将要处理的几行信息单独存储

#gets into needs to process
for i in range(7, len(lines)):
    arrays[i-7] = lines[i].split()

print(arrays[0])
print(arrays[1])
print(arrays[2])

运行结果：

step3 : 按照cpu和mem的使用率排序，降序

关键代码：

from operator import itemgetter

print("sort info:")
#cpu_row = [row[8] for row in arrays]
arrays_sorted_by_cpu = sorted(arrays, key=itemgetter(8), reverse = True)
print(*arrays_sorted_by_cpu, sep='\n')

运行结果：

完整代码：

#!/usr/bin/env python3
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from operator import itemgetter

lines = []
#read txt file line by line and stored in list
with open('top_info.txt', 'r') as f:
    lines = f.readlines()

print("the top info in doc is: \n")
print(*lines, sep='\n')

lines_len = len(lines) - 7       #info need to process
arrays = [[0 for i in lines[6].split()] for i in range(lines_len)]

#gets into needs to process
for i in range(7, len(lines)):
    arrays[i-7] = lines[i].split()

print("sort info:")
arrays_sorted_by_cpu = sorted(arrays, key=itemgetter(8), reverse = True)
print(*arrays_sorted_by_cpu, sep='\n')

运行结果：
