When parsing the proc files, many people forget that process names can have spaces in them and that causes some very funny outputs. The Python script in this posts handles those correctly, kudos.
That's one thing I don't like about Linux. There are too many times where one has to parse things that are not a proper serialization format, and the things that ARE proper formats are a actually a mix of multiple. Sometimes you even see binary files being used to store less than 100 bytes.
It would be cool if they just said "Everything here will be TOML" or something.
But I like to stick with higher level tools anyway and avoid touching the low level stuff on Linux, so it's fine in practice.
