Error when installing psutil module - [Windows pypy 2.7]
If you are encountering an error when installing the psutil
module on Windows using PyPy 2.7, it could be due to compatibility issues between the psutil
package and PyPy. PyPy is an alternative implementation of Python, and some packages may not be fully compatible with it.
Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
Verify PyPy compatibility: Confirm that the version of
psutil
you are installing is compatible with PyPy 2.7. Visit thepsutil
project's documentation or PyPI page to check for any specific compatibility information.Update PyPy: Ensure that you have the latest version of PyPy installed. Visit the PyPy website (https://www.pypy.org) to download and install the most recent version.
Install from a wheel: Instead of installing
psutil
using the regular source distribution, try installing it from a pre-built wheel file. You can download the appropriate wheel file for your PyPy version from thepsutil
project's PyPI page (https://pypi.org/project/psutil/#files). Then install it using the following command:bashpypy -m pip install path/to/psutil-wheel-file.whl
Replace
path/to/psutil-wheel-file.whl
with the actual path to the downloaded wheel file.Report the issue: If the error persists, consider reporting the issue to the
psutil
project's issue tracker or contacting the package maintainers. They may be able to provide further guidance or address the compatibility problem.
Keep in mind that some packages may not have full support or compatibility with PyPy due to its different implementation. In such cases, you may need to consider using the standard CPython interpreter instead.
