Subject: Easier python debugging
Message-ID: <1261594461.2345.17.camel@brick>

I had some ideas about making python easier to debug, and wrote them up
here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DaveMalcolm/FeatureEasierPythonDebugging	

Don't know yet if I'll actually be able to implement that stuff.

I'm also looking at better tracking of heap usage:

likewise, am currently blocked on a systemtap bug [1]

Talking of systemtap, the systemtap/python integration work is partially
done: see:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SystemtapStaticProbes#Python
and the demo here:
http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary/2009/12/07/fudcon-success-systemtap-meets-python/
but it's waiting on a new systemtap release: [2]

Anyone else got ideas/requests for making it easier to debug Python
issues?

Dave
