I'm trying to install from source psutil 2.1.0 for Python 3.4. My OS is Windows 7 x64. I receive the error:

vcvarsall.bat looks like a dependency for Microsoft Visual Studio.
See: Python issue:Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

You could try to install it manually. Get the amd64 py3.4 build from here:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#psutil

And install it. If that fails as well, use 7-Zip to open the .exe and unpack the contained folder to your site-packages.
