Research direction

Compare the dependency changes between multilspy 0.0.13 and 0.0.14, focusing on when psutil is installed and used. Reproduce the installation or usage failure on z/OS, then verify that supported operating systems retain the needed functionality while z/OS can use multilspy without psutil.

Description

I'm now not able to use multilspy 0.0.14 in z/OS because of this new dependency.
Any change to make this psutil dependency only applicable to supported OSes?
For now, I'll stay on version 0.0.13
