Quick low-tech hack until it's fixed:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import re
from subprocess import run

import psutil

def main():
    """docstring for main"""

    for process in [
        psutil.Process(int(pid))
        for pid in re.findall(
            re.compile(r"[0-9]{3,}"),
            run(["needrestart"], capture_output=True).stdout.decode(),
        )
    ]:
        __import__("pprint").pprint(process)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

This annoyed my just enough to look into it. Turns out it's a bug in the Proc::ProcessTable module. A fix was released in August (0.61) so updating to a newer version should fix it.

@djl I just updated to 0.634 and it's working great, thanks for finding that. I flagged the Arch community package out of date as well.
