The following platforms have first-class support (the CI builds run tests on these platforms, and all available interfaces should work properly):
- Linux
- macOS
- FreeBSD
In addition, psutil_extra should work on the following platforms, but no testing has been performed:
- OpenBSD
- NetBSD
- DragonFlyBSD
- Solaris
Some notes:
- Windows support is not planned. Most of the interfaces that
psutil_extracurrently supports are fairly Unix-specific. - Most of
psutil_extra's interfaces work on Windows Subsystem for Linux, but some of them don't work properly on WSL 1. See the documentation for more details.
