Ken, thanks for the answer.
psutil is a dependency of a dependency. Thus not so easily disabled (I had already looked at it). In the end I ran py.test as instructed in the tutorial for dask but with verbose. Then it 'core dumped' when dealing with h5py (verbose enabled me to track the precise error). I ran it after this command: pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall h5py And the installation and tests went smoothly. Probably the package should require an upper version of h5py. Everything seems normal now. The solution is here if anyone gets stuck in the same error.
