Easier python debugging

I had some ideas about making python easier to debug, and wrote them up here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DaveMalcolm/FeatureEasierPythonDebugging Don't know yet if I'll actually be able to implement that stuff. I'm also looking at better tracking of heap usage: http://dmalcolm.livejournal.com/4183.html likewise, am currently blocked on a systemtap bug [1] Talking of systemtap, the systemtap/python integration work is partially done: see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SystemtapStaticProbes#Python and the demo here: http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary/2009/12/07/fudcon-success-systemtap-meets... but it's waiting on a new systemtap release: [2] Anyone else got ideas/requests for making it easier to debug Python issues?
