There's no import of _psutil_linux in locust code. Perhaps you have a file called psutil.py or something? I guess you could try adding a import psutil at the top to make it more clear.

@cyberw, there was a strange flowing error. There no import psutils in my code. I ques that threre were broken env. Fixed by recreating it.
