Openhardwaremonitor: Python.Runtime.Clrmodule.Addreference(String name)

Question

My script is returning the output below:

GOAL

Capture the temperature of any platform, I performed the following steps before performing:

Download http://openhardwaremonitor.org/downloads/ and http://www.cputhermometer.com/ and Extract Openhardwaremonitorlib.dll and Cputhermometerlib.dll and place These in a directory.

You can then use the pythonnet module to address the . dlls and pull any stat that These Programs Offer. cputhermometer offers per-core CPU temps, openhardwaremonitor offers Everything Else. No need to use WMI which requires the program to be active in the background.

Python version: 2.7.16
