Description: A Python version of the popular top utility to view process activity
        such as CPU use, memory use, etc.  Requires the Python System
        Information (PSI) package to be installed and supports all operating
        systems that PSI supports.  Also requires Urwid for curses support.
        
        If you have setuptools installed then install using easy_install and
        it will take care of the dependencies::
        
        $ easy_install psitop
        
        Alternatively, install `psi`_ and `urwid`_ then download the psitop
        tarball, unpack it and install with::
        
        $ python setup.py install
        
        (you may need special privileges, such as root, depending on your
        system).
        
        .. _psi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PSI
        .. _urwid: http://excess.org/urwid/
        
        This should install a new command-line program "psitop", which can
        be executed directly::
        
        $ psitop
        
        Some systems will require root privileges to be able to see all details
        about all processes.  You may need to use::
        
        $ sudo psitop
        
        or, on Solaris 10 & OpenSolaris::
        
        $ pfexec psitop
        
        An example of psitop output looks like::
