[lttng-dev] [babeltrace PATCH] Babeltrace python module

Tue Aug 7 14:43:06 EDT 2012


The Babeltrace Python module can be used to directly control
the Babeltrace API inside Python, using 'import babeltrace'.

Therefore, it becomes possible to create a Context, add a
trace to it, iterate on it, read events and so on from
within Python.

SWIG >= 2.0 is used to create the wrapper and its
'warning md variable unused' bug is patched in Makefile.am

In the interface file, struct and enum are directly copied
from the include files. All changes to struct bt_iter_pos
and to enums in ctf/events.h must also be made in the
interface file.

+PYTHON BINDINGS
+----------------
+
+This is a brief howto for using the Babeltrace Python module.
+
+
+INSTALLATION:
+
+By default, the Python bindings are installed.
+If you do not wish the Python bindings, you can configure with the
+--disable-python option during the installation procedure:
+
+  $ ./configure --disable-python
+
+The Python module is automatically generated using SWIG, therefore the
+swig2.0 package on Debian/Ubuntu is requied.
+
+
+USAGE:
+
+Once installed, the Python module can be used by importing it in Python.
+In the Python interpreter:
+
+  >>> import babeltrace
+
+Then the starting point is to create a context and add a trace to it.
+
+  >>> ctx = babeltrace.Context()
+  >>> ctx.add_trace("path/to/trace", <format>)
+
+Where <format> is a string containing the format name in which the trace
+was produced.  To print a list of available formats to the standard
+output, it is possible to use the print_format_list function.
+
+  >>> out = babeltrace.File(None)	# This returns stdout
+  >>> babeltrace.print_format_list(out)
+
+When a trace is added to a context, it is opened and ready to read using
+an iterator.  While creating an iterator, optional starting and ending
+position may be specified.  So far, only ctf iterator are supported.
+
+  >>> begin_pos = babeltrace.IterPos(babeltrace.SEEK_BEGIN)
+  >>> iterator = babeltrace.ctf.Iterator(ctx, begin_pos)
+
+From there, it is possible to read the events.
+
+  >>> event = iterator.read_event()
+
+It is simple to obtain the timestamp of that event.
+
+  >>> timestamp = event.get_timestamp()
+
+Let's say that we want to extract the prev_comm context info for a
+sched_switch event.  To do so, it is needed to set an event scope
+with which we can obtain the field wanted.
+
+  >>> if event.get_name == "sched_switch":
+  ...   #prev_comm only for sched_switch events
+  ...   scope = event.get_top_level_scope(babeltrace.ctf.scope.EVENT_FIELDS)
+  ...   field = event.get_field(scope, "_prev_comm")
+  ...   prev_comm = field.get_char_array()
+
+It is also possible to move on to the next event.
+
+  >>> ret = iterator.next()		# Move the iterator
+  >>> if ret == 0:			# No error occured
+  ...   event = iterator.read_event()	# Read the next event
+
+For many usage script examples of the Babeltrace Python module, see the
+python/examples directory.

+#
+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AX_PKG_SWIG([major.minor.micro], [action-if-found], [action-if-not-found])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   This macro searches for a SWIG installation on your system. If found,
+#   then SWIG is AC_SUBST'd; if not found, then $SWIG is empty.  If SWIG is
+#   found, then SWIG_LIB is set to the SWIG library path, and AC_SUBST'd.
+#
+#   You can use the optional first argument to check if the version of the
+#   available SWIG is greater than or equal to the value of the argument. It
+#   should have the format: N[.N[.N]] (N is a number between 0 and 999. Only
+#   the first N is mandatory.) If the version argument is given (e.g.
+#   1.3.17), AX_PKG_SWIG checks that the swig package is this version number
+#   or higher.
+#
+#   As usual, action-if-found is executed if SWIG is found, otherwise
+#   action-if-not-found is executed.
+#
+#   In configure.in, use as:
+#
+#     AX_PKG_SWIG(1.3.17, [], [ AC_MSG_ERROR([SWIG is required to build..]) ])
+#     AX_SWIG_ENABLE_CXX
+#     AX_SWIG_MULTI_MODULE_SUPPORT
