New port of python bindings for DTrace. This port has been used in the University of Cambridge's L41 Advanced Operating Systems (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/1617/L41/) course to provide access and post process DTrace outputs in Python.

The eventual aim is to have a teachbsd meta package that includes py-python-dtrace and other dependencies (for Jupyter notebooks). The teachbsd meta package will be used with open sourced teaching materials to teach FreeBSD.

There were a number of issues with this port which I've fixed, see attached updated version. But there's still an issue in that it doesn't compile. The error produced is:

cc -DNDEBUG -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC -I/sys/cddl/compat/opensolaris -I/sys/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/uts/common -I/usr/src/cddl/contrib/opensolaris/lib/libdtrace/common -I/usr/local/include/python2.7 -c dtrace_cython/consumer.c -o build/temp.freebsd-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-2.7/dtrace_cython/consumer.o
dtrace_cython/consumer.c:434:10: fatal error: 'sys/int_limits.h' file not found
#include "sys/int_limits.h"
         ^
1 error generated.
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1
*** Error code 1

I think sys/int_limits.h may be a gcc thing?

The original diff excluded the files/ directory (as a result of me not adding this in git!).

  devel/py-python-dtrace: create port

  DTrace consumer for Python based on libdtrace.

  Currently this package provides two modules: one wraps libdtrace using ctypes.
  The other one uses cython.
