             Bug #: 13293
           Summary: Experimental idea: translation from Python to
                    SystemTap
           Product: systemtap
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: translator
        AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: dmalcolm@redhat.com
    Classification: Unclassified


I had a go at writing a Python to .stp compiler

Motivation:
gdb can be scripted in Python, and I have a substantial body of Python code
that uses gdb's Python interface to poke at backtraces and values in inferior
processes.  It seems worth sharing that code somehow with SystemTap.

I'm attaching the minimal "compiler" I wrote (though it's far too premature for
that :)  )

Very early and primitive .py -> .stp converter

The input .py file I've been using

$ sudo py2stp.py test.py 
works, generating a minimal test.stp, which prints "hello world" as it starts

(progress on this clever idea is unlikely)
