FREEBSD - pstuil dependency too high #443

Closed bitclick closed 6 months ago

bitclick commented 10 months ago

Summary

OS: FREEBSD 11
Architecture: 64bit
Psutil version: 5.8.0
Python version: Python 3.8.12
Type: installation

Description

dependency for psutil is higher than neccessary (5.9.4)
Freebsd 11 ships with python 3.8 which is supported. this comes with psutil 5.8.0
- pip psutil cannot be installed because of an upstream bug with python headers (resolved in later Freebsd releases)
- Freebsd 11 is out of support so a fix will likely not come
this project runs fine with psutil 5.8.0 when installed manually (tested with symlinked distro-psutil into the venv site-packages)

possible fix

lower the required version of psutil to 5.8.0
pip installation should be working fine in freebsd 11

comment

freebsd 11 is old but it still runs on some hosts with a lot of jails for automation
with this bug, it is currently not working, though the python-version 3.8 is good enough
fixing this should be a low-hanging fruit

@bitclick thanks for the report.

I'm pretty sure I looked at this before and struggled to get a set of dependencies that work for BSD.

If you clone the repo, make the change you suggest and pip install -e . does it work??
