ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'resource'

I installed django-rq in my project and I did the setup, but when I run my project with the command python manage.py runserver I receive the following error:

One possible solution is to install the psutil package, which provides cross-platform access to many system functionalities, including the resource module. You can install it by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:

pip install psutil

This is actually an issue with the rq package, not django-rq but found this while searching for the issue. It looks like it was fixed in rq/rq#948 so hopefully they'll cut a new release soon. For now I'm just using rq 1.12 until i can test on windows again.
