Hi,
With a bit of debugging I found the problem, and a solution for issue #69. It is just a forgotten parameter when creating the object MemTimer when benchmarking external processes.
Also, I noticed that even if psutil module is found, the
_get_memoryfunction will calculate the memory twice ifos.name == 'posix', which was the case in my Mac OSX. I just put anelifthere.I have tested this fix executing memory_usage on functions that create threads (i.e with multiprocessing.Pool), as well as with functions that call external programs that in turn create several threads (i.e subprocess.check_call).
Hope that helps!
