May I recommend you try the python pmfg (pmFetchGroup) API instead

Thank you for the input and yes using pmFetchGroup() is the next task on my board. Ryan suggested trying pmFetch() first and then going after pmFetchGroup().Â

Based on src/pmclient/pmclient_fg.py , something like:

 Âclass TotalRead():
    Â...
    Âdef connect(self):
      Â/* decode context type & parameter via pmGetOptions* */
      Âself.fg = pmapi.fetchgroup(....)
      Âself.pids = self.fg.extend_indom('proc.psinfo.pid')

    Âdef execute(self):
      Âself.fg.fetch()
      Âfor (pid, pidname, value) in self.pids():
        try:
          print "PID %d value %d" % (pid, value())
        except:
          pass

I will definitely try this one. :)Â
