• What is the behavior/output you expect?
  Install successfully - according to doc in README.md

I know how to fix this. But is that expected thing would happen or should mypy specify version of psutil which has wheel? If it needs gcc to compile, maybe we should update install guide to help beginner.

[hvnsweeting]

At the moment, psutil does not support wheel for Linux & OSX, this seems not feasible now: giampaolo/psutil#824

[gvanrossum]

Hm, psutil is actually optional -- it's nice to have, but not required, and in fact only the status command of the as yet experimental and unsupported daemon (dmypy) uses it -- and fails soft if it's not installed.

So, while it's easy enough to install gcc, maybe if there's a way to make the dependency optional we should do that.
