----------------------------------
Hi, [~Yaro1]! Thanks for you interest.
This task doesn't require very hardcore tracing knowledge/background, while
it's necessary to understand what kind of problems a tracing system aims to
solve, how a tracing system helps to diagnose a productional problem. All of
the understandings will help you to make this task much more sense so that you
won't do something out of its scope, nor will you finish a task that is useless
in reality.
To get the aforementioned understandings, the link [1] I posted in the
description is an implementation of Java agent.
Another best material to understand the scope of tracing system is the Google's
Dapper paper [2].

> Apache SkyWalking: Python agent supports profiling
> --------------------------------------------------

> Key: COMDEV-386
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMDEV-386
> Project: Community Development
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: GSoC/Mentoring ideas
> Reporter: Zhenxu Ke
> Priority: Major
> Labels: SkyWalking, gsoc2021, mentor
>
> Apache SkyWalking [1] is an application performance monitor (APM) tool for
> distributed systems, especially designed for microservices, cloud native and
> container-based (Docker, K8s, Mesos) architectures.
> SkyWalking is based on agent to instrument (automatically) monitored
> services, for now, we have many agents for different languages, Python agent
> [2] is one of them, which supports automatic instrumentations.
> The goal of this project is to extend the agent's features by supporting
> profiling [3] a function's invocation stack, help the users to analyze which
> method costs the most major time in a cross-services call.
> To complete this task, you must be comfortable with Python, have some
> knowledge of tracing system, otherwise you'll have a hard time coming up to
> speed..
