I have a long-running program that has lots of net connections open on
separate threads. I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for it to finish
(each run takes maybe an hour) and although I'm logging various info
that I can monitor as the run progresses, it would be cool to be able
to actually poke around the program's data while it's running.
I'm thinking of adding a "console" thread that would basically be a
read-eval-print loop that I could use to inspect data interactively.
Maybe it would just eval stuff or maybe it would use pdb. Of course
it would be a bit dangerous since I could mutate things with it but I
guess it would be enough to just be careful not to do that.
Is this kind of thing common? Has it been done before and are there
some recipes? I did a quick search and didn't find anything obvious.
One thing I'm wondering is how to examine the internal state of
iterators, especially the C implementations from itertools.
More advanced might be some kind of hot-patching scheme (to be able to
change the code without stopping it) but for now I think I'm ok just
restarting the program every so often, modifying the code between runs
based on what happens in a given run.

I don't know how common it is, but for instance, Zope has a remote console
like this.
The code module may be useful.

That may be hard to do. For global functions, reload() may help, but if
you have many created instances, modifying and reloading the module that
contains the class definition won't automatically alter the existing
instances.

The Twisted framework offers an interactive Python shell inside the
application (Twisted manhole).

Does anyone know of a framework or library that will enable me to use

running on a Unix box that will accept client connections (from GUIs

advice on where to start?
Thanks.

What would be a good way to check programmatically whether a service was
running?
We have a service that dies periodically and I need to check to see if this
service is running. I know how to check to see if the status is in stopped
or running mode. But that doesn't tell me if it is actually running.
I need to know this so that if it happens I can programmatically start the
same service on another machine.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
