| Platform support |
| ================ |
| |
| Python |
| ^^^^^^ |
| |
| **Current Python:** 3.7 and PyPy3. |
| |
| **Python 2.7**: latest psutil version supporting it is |
| `psutil 6.1.1 <https://pypi.org/project/psutil/6.1.1/>`_ (Dec 2024). The 6.1.X |
| series may still receive critical bug-fixes but no new features. To install |
| psutil on Python 2.7 run: |
| |
| .. code-block:: none |
| |
| python2 -m pip install psutil==6.1.* |

| Note: psutil may work on older versions of the above platforms but it is not |

| Architectures |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
| |
| Supported CPU architectures and platforms tested in CI or with prebuilt wheels: |

| ================ =========================== =========================== |
| Architecture CI-tested platforms Wheel builds |
| ================ =========================== =========================== |
| x86_64 Linux, macOS, Windows Linux, macOS, Windows |
| aarch64 / ARM64 Linux, macOS, Windows Linux, macOS, Windows |
| ================ =========================== =========================== |
| |
| Notes: |
| |
| - Linux wheels are built for both glibc (manylinux) and musl. |
| - macOS wheels are universal2 (include both x86_64 and arm64 slices). |
| - Windows wheels are labeled AMD64 or ARM64 according to architecture. |
| - Other architectures (i686, ppc64le, s390x, riscv64, ...) are supported but |
| not CI-tested. They can be compiled from the source tarball |
| (``pip install psutil --no-binary psutil``). |
