when using app-crypt/letsencrypt with dev-python/psutil-2.1.3 (current stable version) in standalone mode, I always get the error: ValueError: ambiguos inode with multiple PIDs references This error can be fixed, by upgrading to >=dev-python/psutil-3.0.1. I have tested Version 3.0.1 and 3.3.0 here. Both versions work as expected.

added upstream bug reference
i can confirm this issue. i upgraded psutil to 3.4.2 and the issue is gone so from previous post it seems it needs at least version 3.0.1 to work correctly.
