since temp files do not exists anymore, the memory consumption problem no longer exists. Signed-off-by: zongyu <zongyu@novazy.net>

Seems nice, I'll try to check if the memory issue had been resolved. |
After 6 hours, the python process memory was still only around 30MB, memory issue has gone. |

Waiting for the queue to be filled by utils.enqueue_powermetrics() implies that we need to sleep for args.interval seconds, so we do not need extra lines to sleep between `powermetrcis` outputs. Signed-off-by: Zhang Zongyu <zongyu@novazy.net>

This is an effort to avoid creating temp files under
/tmpfolder.It uses Python's threading and queueing library to receive and preprocess the output of
powermetrics.The main change is presented in commit 1daf3ad
The other 2 commits are for code cleanups.
The whole process is described as follows:
powermetricsis configured to output tostdoutenqueue_powermetrics(), which willstdoutinto separate plists (by the magicb'\x00'character)parse_powermetrics()will get the latest plist from the LIFO queue, and parse the plist as usualThis PR will hopefully resolve issues #18, #17 and #35.
Also #6 may also be resolved (without restarting
powermetricsmultiple times).
