I'm relatively new to Python, running Python 3.3 on FreeBSD
I have a process which has started to spike CPU usage. I'm trying to find
out what it's doing.
I tried the pystack macro suggested here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/132058/showing-the-stack-trace-from-a-running-python-application/147114#147114
I got the gdbinit macro from:
http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Misc/gdbinit
When I attach gdb, it tells me it is loading symbols from python3.3m
However when I run pystack I get:
No symbol PyStringObject in current context.
Do I need an updated version of the gdb macro for Python3.3?
Many system installed Python versions (all, I have seen so far)
are stripped, i.e. they lack debugging information.
Such information is necessary in order to use the gdb macros
effectively.
I suggest you install and compile your Python yourself.
Likely, the generated Python will have debugging symbols without
(manual) intervention. If not, the installation instructions should
tell you how to get a Python with debugging symbols.
