Basically i want to read the cpu temperature in python. Please explain in layman's terms as i have never done this on windows before nor have i had to work with wmi.
This is what I have at the moment:
import wmi
w = wmi.WMI(namespace="root\wmi")
temperature_info = w.MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature()[0]
print temperature_info.CurrentTemperature
(i got this code from this thread: Accessing CPU temperature in python)
however, on running the script, i get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Ryan\Desktop\SerialSystemMonitor", line 4, in <module>
temperature_info = w.MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature()[0]
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wmi.py", line 819, in query
handle_com_error ()
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\wmi.py", line 241, in handle_com_error
raise klass (com_error=err)
x_wmi: <x_wmi: Unexpected COM Error (-2147217396, 'OLE error 0x8004100c', None, None)>
what can i do to get this to work?
