[belenix-discuss] Dtrace python bindings

[kunal]

Hi all,

Some time back , there was a discussion regarding python bindings for
dtrace.
Has someone worked on it already ? If not , i was thinking of doing that as
my GSoC for 2011. Are there any pointers / suggestions for the same ?

Memories from another time and universe...

Some part of this was done already in the JDS branch, this has a
ustack helper too.

http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref//jds/spec-files/trunk/patches/Python-07-dtrace.diff

I myself had taken a stab at it:

You could attempt it for python 3+ and also add support for python objects
and to peek into local variables. That would make a complete project.

cheers

Thanks a lot Binu , for the pointers.
That's a lot of blog-posts to read :) Will read them and ask if
i stumble somewhere.

Thanks and regards,
