    Any extensions that uses more than Python would need to adapt to free-threading if they want to onboard. It's impossible for CPython to ensure all the C extensions work without GIL. So this should be an issue for psutil :)

    I think this is due to issues with the Python installers, not psutil.

    Depends on:

    • gh-120888: Bump bundled pip to 24.1.1 #120889

    Based on the descriptions here and in the linked issues, the original problem has been resolved. With current versions of Python 3.13 (python.org macOS 3.13.0b4), pip, and psutil, psutil no longer segfaults using the free-threaded variant.
