Python - DTracing Python
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These scripts trace the Python programming language, and require a version
|
||
|
|
of Python which has been built with DTrace probes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Python DTrace provider was originally written by John Levon, and
|
||
|
|
was integrated into Solaris Nevada in build 65. If you are on a different
|
||
|
|
OS with DTrace and would like to use these scripts, you could download
|
||
|
|
Python and the Python DTrace provider patch listed in the comments here,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will need patch and build Python for these probes to work.
|
||
|
|
Or, check if a pre-built package is available someone on opensolaris.org.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since the DTrace Python provider may be developed further, there is a chance
|
||
|
|
that it has changed slightly by the time you are reading this, causing
|
||
|
|
these scripts to either break or behave oddly. Firstly, check for newer
|
||
|
|
versions of the DTraceToolkit; if it hasn't been updated and you need
|
||
|
|
to use these scripts immediately, then updating them shouldn't take
|
||
|
|
too long. The following was the state of the provider when these scripts
|
||
|
|
were written - check for changes and update the scripts accordingly,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
provider python {
|
||
|
|
probe function-entry(file, subroutine, lineno)
|
||
|
|
probe function-return(file, subroutine, lineno)
|
||
|
|
};
