Ok, r629 includes fixes for the above errors. However, after doing 
that I am still getting test suite errors for get_-open_files(): 

======================================================================
FAIL: test_get_open_files (__main__.TestCase)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test/test_psutil.py", line 394, in test_get_open_files

In this case I did some debugging and it's happening because of 
temporary files open by one of my processes. Since they're transient 
temporary files, they only exist for seconds or possibly even less 
time. As a result, by the time we check to see if it's a valid file, it's already gone. 

I suggest we remove/replace these tests, as this is likely to happen 
pretty frequently for any process that uses temporary files.

I agree the test is unreliable and should be removed.

did this test get removed? If so let's go ahead and close out this 
issue as fixed with my changes to the lsof parser

For now I've disabled these in the test suite in OS X until we have 
time to fix the parsing code.
