Howdy,

Necessity has spawned an attempt to invent a tool to explain strace output.

I am trying to figure out why my installation of Shotwell isn't responding
to configuration correctly, strace offers debugging help.

I'm examining the output of
$ strace  -o shotwell.strace shotwell

I've written a class which maintains the current fd:filename association,
applying it to file operations, generating a results dictionary for each line
in shotwell.strace. Currently it handles open, read and write, but I
see I should
add access, ftruncate, readlink ...

I find I'm writing a regex and a method for each operation, I remember reading
that PLY involves doing that.

Is this problem suitable for PLY?

My immediate needs are simple, but I'd like a base which can be extended,
learning more operations, understanding arguments and responses ...
I think I would get a lot of use out of it.

Any comments are welcome.

Thanks,
Kent
