Dear list,
Lately, I've had a personal itch to scratch, in that I run a couple of
Python programs as daemons, and sometimes want to inspect or alter them
in ad-hoc ways, or other times need to do things to them that are less
ad-hoc in nature, but nevertheless lack a natural user interface.
In order to solve that problem, I wrote a small library to allow the
daemon to simply listen to some socket and accept arbitrary, but easily
definable, commands. It also provides a "remote REPL" to allow me to run
arbitrary Python code interactively in the context of the daemon.
I was actually a bit surprised that I couldn't find any obvious existing
solution to the problem, so I'm writing this message in order to share
mine, just in case anyone else would happen to have the same problem as
I had and doesn't want to reinvent the wheel yet again:
This is possible through the use of a debugger. I've never used it, but
I heard good thing of winpdb which has remote debugging.
(http://winpdb.org/)
Another tool that I've never used is rconsole, part of rfoo library,
which appears to be similar to pdm; it is also intended for the same
kind of problem, managing long-running-processes/daemons.
