system-metrics instrumentation does not work with psutil 7.0.0 #3272
Description
Describe your environment
OS: python:3.12-slim-bookworm image
Python version: 3.12
Package version: 0.51b0
What happened?
Upgraded psutil to 7.0.0, and pip install failed.
We did this for the OpenTelemetry Demo in the load-generator service.
Steps to Reproduce
add/set psutil==7.0.0 in an OpenTelemetry instrumented app's requirements.txt file and run pip install -r requirements.txt
Expected Result
Do not block on psutil < 7
Actual Result
psutil version 7 or greater is not allowed
Additional context
I found this PR which added the "psutil >= 5.9.0, < 7" entry in the pyproject.toml dependencies section. There was no note in that PR about why psutil 7+ should not be allowed.
Would you like to implement a fix?
None
