install latest psutil version in centos 6.7

Question

My system os version is (centos)6.7 with installed python version is 2.6.* When I tried to install a python module psutil with a command

yum install python-psutil

But the installed version is 0.3.6 something...

But the latest version of psutil module is 3.2.2

What might be the problem? How to solve it ? Do I need to update python version ?

or
