Description

Hello everyone,

I have psutil 5.9.6 as a dependence in my project.
I can't build it and install it due to a LNK2001 linking error followed by a LNK1120 fatal error.

Here I report the ending ouput by running pip wheel --no-cache-dir --use-pep517 "psutil (==5.9.6)" :

Do you guys have any suggestion or anything to try?

A related and already closed issue would be #1571 (comment).

I would add also that install psutil 5.9.5 runs smoothly.
Test completed with pip wheel --no-cache-dir --use-pep517 "psutil (==5.9.5)"

Thanks,
Nicola

PyPy has some missing PyErr functions, causing build to fail.

A workaround for this will be included in psutil 5.9.7, and a proper fix for this issue will be included in PyPy 7.3.14.

Until one of those is out, you could try a PyPy nightly build which already includes a fix, or installing psutil from latest source (pip install git+https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil)

See #2325

psutil 5.9.7 is released. Closing.

thakn you guys for the new release.

Anyways, also trying the latest PyPy nightly build solved the problem.
