Fwd: [packages] python 2.7 and systemtap markers?

[Gareth]

Guys

Is it necessary to apply some patch to cpython source for tracing
python (2.7) in Ubuntu?

I'm googling and find many guys are talking about patches for python,
but I don't know current status :(

Hey guys

Are python2.7 binaries from official packages compiled with systemtap markers?

Yeah, upstream python.org status of sys/sdt.h support is unclear:
  https://bugs.python.org/issue4111
  https://bugs.python.org/issue13405
have been open for some seven years (!!).
Here is the Fedora patch for python 2.7+.

Thanks, Frank

I'm using jcea's patches at
https://www.jcea.es/artic/python_dtrace.htm and build cpython and
systemtap myself. Now everything is okay :)
