Apache Airflow 导入错误：无法导入名称“_psutil_linux”

Question

I am installing apache airflow as per the installation steps provided at https://airflow.apache.org/start.html#quick-start

1. First Step - export AIRFLOW_HOME=~/airflow (No error)

2. Second Step - pip install apache-airflow (No error)

3. Third Step - airflow initdb ( Error - ImportError: cannot import name '_psutil_linux' )

Detailed of error is shown in below image:

Environment detail is as below-

• Python Version - Python 3.6.3 :: Anaconda custom (32-bit)
• Pip Version - 10.0.1
• Ubuntu Version - 14.04 LTS
• OS Type - 32 bits

How should I go on resolving it? I have already tried updating pip and installing python-dev but that does not work.

Answer 1

installing python-dev will do the job

if you are running ubuntu then sudo apt-get install python-dev

or simply running pip install -U psutil should do the job.

Answer 2

I've overcome this problem through the following command:

pip install -U --ignore-installed psutil

---

This works if you have installed psutil by pip , otherwise, try via apt in Ubuntu:

apt-get update
apt-get --only-upgrade install python-psutil
apt-get install python-psutil
