-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all.
I have spend some time trying to integrate DTrace probes in official Python: Currently I have a patch to python 2.7, and my plan in to integrate officially in 3.3. The initial probes were based on previous work from OpenSolaris, and similar, but currently I have quite a few more probes. Current details in <http://hg.jcea.es/cpython-2011/file/b1a39702dfd8/Doc/library/dtrace.rst> The probes are tested under Solaris 10 x86 and x86-64. I would need somebody to try on Solaris 10 Sparc (32 and 64 bits), Solaris 11, OpenIndiana, FreeBSD (seems to need a kernel recompilation to enable user mode tracing, check Google), Mac (I doubt it works as is), etc., any other platform running DTrace. What about SystemTap compatibility? Details: <http://bugs.python.org/issue13405> How to check: <http://bugs.python.org/issue13405#msg147706>. The easier way to get the patch is to clone my repository at <https://hg.jcea.es/cpython-2011/> (with mercurial) and move to the branch "dtrace-issue13405_2.7". Keep the clone around if you plan to try future versions of this patch, including the future 3.3 version. You can manually apply the patch in <http://bugs.python.org/file23758/a9f4ae43fd85.diff> to python 2.7.2+ sourcecode. The patch is developed against version 3c3009f63700 (2011-11-14). It might not apply cleanly to 2.7.2 sourcecode (not checked). I will provide a direct patch to 2.7.3 when available. Maybe to 2.7.2 if there is demand. This is still work in progress. I will improve support with your feedback. I am considering probes to monitor GIL and thinking how to monitor C function calls from Python in an easy and fast way. Feedback very welcomed. Please, if you care about this, test it and provide some feedback :). PS: Better post feedback in the bug tracker that by personal email :-). - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ j...@jcea.es - http://www.jcea.es/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:j...@jabber.org _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ . _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQCVAwUBTs50+Jlgi5GaxT1NAQKWUwQAnl99nFd6nM5yiPGl8yw4/YR81BTIS563 3wyPz74o5wAE3k9quexr+UPCndPogiH6nhnJ9DNXfUpVyaouGG/tGEbZn/x+h7Dv jc5616IRnHxGAxxuoTscCRRN88zsPVY6i71QMxK2BOS+zXMdcrsBajLrmx1UIzHY Elr7fq8L988= =uQM5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
