cannot import name '_psutil_linux'

The output of thefuck --version (something like The Fuck 3.1 using Python 3.5.0):

thefuck --version

Traceback (most recent call last): File “/usr/local/bin/thefuck”, line 7, in <module> from thefuck.entrypoints.main import main File “/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/thefuck/entrypoints/main.py”, line 11, in <module> from .alias import print_alias # noqa: E402 File “/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/thefuck/entrypoints/alias.py”, line 3, in <module> from …shells import shell File “/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/thefuck/shells/init.py”, line 6, in <module> from psutil import Process File “/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/psutil/init.py”, line 68, in <module> from . import _pslinux as _psplatform File “/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/psutil/_pslinux.py”, line 24, in <module> from . import _psutil_linux as cext ImportError: cannot import name ‘_psutil_linux’

How to reproduce the bug:

typing 'fuck' or 'thefuck --version'. In short, it always gives me the same traceback of the name  import error

The output of The Fuck with THEFUCK_DEBUG=true exported (typically execute export THEFUCK_DEBUG=true in your shell before The Fuck):

IDK, whatever command I use with "thefuck" included, same beforementioned issue

If the bug only appears with a specific application, the output of that application and its version:

N/A

I had now the same issue, I needed to reinstall the psutil and decorator packages…

sudo pip uninstall psutil
sudo pip install -U psutil
sudo pip uninstall decorator
sudo pip install -U decorator

And now it seems it works…
