azure-cli: `pip install --upgrade azure-cli` fails on Cygwin due to psutil

Describe the bug I tried to upgrade azure-cli from 2.0.31 to the latest (2.0.62 as of writing)

To Reproduce pip install --upgrade azure-cli

Expected behavior az should upgrade.

Environment summary Windows 10 Cygwin (latest)

Additional context

Collecting psutil>=5.6.1 (from azure-cli-core==2.0.64->azure-cli)

@adewaleo, the psutil was pulled in for the new az feedback, anyway we can find an alternative?

after https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/pull/11665 has been merged it is possible to install latest azure-cli in cygwin

Virtualenv is a virtual environment (see https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html), rather than installing modules globally you install them to a separate directory, kind of like how PHP’s composer, Ruby’s bundler, and Node.js’s npm.

EDIT:

composer installs to vendor in each project
bundler installs globally by default (but can go to a vendor folder), and works out deps at runtime by using the Gemfile/Gemfile.lock
npm installs to node_modules for each project
