Probably has to do with this issue. OS X 10.8.4, when I call get_connections() 
I always get:

In [26]: p1.get_connections()

Ah! That's not good. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce that.
Do you think you could try to debug the issue in order to see what function 
call is failing?
In detail you should look at psutil/_psutil_osx.c, get_process_connections() 
function and put printf()s before all the "PyErr_SetFromErrno(PyExc_OSError);" 
occurrences.
