- Subject: python added to systemtap.apps testsuite
The systemtap testsuite has a systemtap.apps subpackage where some
packages with sdt markers are built and the markers are tested. python
doesn't (yet) have upstream sdt marker support. However, it has been
added to the testsuite by downloading and patching the upstream python
sources. python2.stp and python3.stp provide support for backtracing
the python stack and fetching python variables. If the test is run via:
RUNTESTFLAGS="-v python.exp" make installcheck
then the test is not cleaned up so it is possible to inspect how python
is supported by the testsuite.
