| How this list was compiled |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| - `GitHub dependency graph <https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/network/dependents>`__ |
| was used to identify packages and repositories that depend on psutil. |
| - GitHub code search with query "psutil in:readme language:Python", sorted by |
| stars, was used to find additional projects that mention psutil in their |
| README. |
| - Each candidate was then manually verified by checking the project's |
| pyproject.toml, setup.py, setup.cfg or requirements.txt to confirm that |
| psutil is an actual dependency (direct, build-time, or optional), not just a |
| passing mention. |
| - Projects were excluded if they only mention psutil in documentation or |
| examples without declaring it as a dependency. |
| - Star counts are pulled dynamically from `shields.io <https://shields.io/>`__ |
| badges. |
| - The final list was manually curated to include notable projects and |
| meaningful usages of psutil across different areas of the Python ecosystem. |
