I'll answer for Unix:

processor load =>       uptime
disk usage =>           df

RAM usage: I don't believe you can do this portably on Unix. On Linux,
you can evaluate the output of 'free' or read /proc/meminfo directly
(with commands.getoutput or os.popen).

For Windows, you'll probably want to download the win32 extensions and
look what goodies there are in the win32api module.
