I would try removing them and reinstalling python3-psutil. I would also check if you have any pip installed packages.

Feeding off the last reply (Solaar works for me):

$ locate _psutil_posix
/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/psutil/_psutil_posix.abi3.so

But more versions of it existed in older packages:

Can you try to remove any and all versions of psutil packages you have, make sure you don't have non-Slackware packages of psutil installed, and then rebuild psutil and all dependent packages?
