For reference, see: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=762005
The "psutil" version on bots is very old, v1.2.1. This is largely because bots are running very old operating systems. This can't last forever, so we need to ensure that Catapult works with newer versions of these packages.
The specific version of "psutil" that a build runs against can be controlled using "vpython". On bots, the "vpython" package specification currently pulls in "psutil" v5.2.2: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/.vpython
This bug is to increase Catapult and associated code's robustness with respect to "psutil" APIs for any supported revisions, as well as to document which "psutil" revisions Catapult intends to support.
P2 b/c things seem stable as-is, but this is obscure and should be fixed before it is forgotten.
