Hi, If nobody complains, I plan to push my faulthandler module into Python 3.3 in one week. It's a module to display the Python backtrace on a segfault, on a user signal or after a timeout.
I opened an issue (#11393) for that, 3 weeks ago, and I already got some interesting comments. I fixed some bugs and changed the API (function names). Even if faulthandler is very specific to CPython, I would like to keep its original name: faulthandler (and not _faulthandler). I also plan to maintain the module outside CPython for Python 2.5-3.2. What is the procedure to add a new module? Just add the code into Modules and patch setup.py? The module is distributed under the BSD (2-clause) license. --- faulthandler API is simple and small. Fatal errors: * enable() * disable() * is_enabled() Dump the traceback after a timeout: * dump_traceback_later(delay, repeat=False, file=sys.stderr, all_threads=False) * cancel_dump_traceback_later() Dump the traceback on a user signal: * register(signum, file=sys.stderr, all_threads=False) * unregister(signum) Explicit call to dump the traceback: * dump_traceback(file=sys.stderr, all_threads=False) Read the README file for more information. I don't know if I chose the best function names :-) --- https://github.com/haypo/faulthandler/ http://bugs.python.org/issue11393 (see also my previous thread on python-dev, "Integrate the faulthandler module into Python 3.3?")
