Note on the License Dan Williams 2006-08-16 Since 'setup.py' specifies the "Python" license, it is assumed that the threadframe package is distributed under that license, even though there is no license header at the top of the source file. Obtaining tracebacks on other threads in Python =============================================== by Fazal Majid (www.majid.info), 2004-06-10 David Beazley added advanced debugging functions to the Python interpreter, and they have been folded into the 2.2 release. Guido van Rossum added in Python 2.3 the thread ID to the interpreter state structure, and this allows us to produce a dictionary mapping thread IDs to frames. I used these hooks to build a debugging module that is useful when you are looking for deadlocks in a multithreaded application. I've built and tested this only on Solaris 8/x86, but the code should be pretty portable. Of course, I disclaim any liability if this code should crash your system, erase your homework, eat your dog (who also ate your homework) or otherwise have any undesirable effect. Building and installing ======================= Download threadframe-0.2.tar.gz. You can use the Makefile or the setup.py script. There is a small test program test.py that illustrates how to use this module to dump stack frames of all the Python interpreter threads. A sample run is available for your perusal.
