Hi,

I've been wondering if there is any chance to use dtrace ustack helpers on Mac OS X for python and other interpreted languages? I know that you can figure out what python and php on OpenSolaris are doing when giving the ustack some extra memory for a buffer. Is this somehow possible on Mac OS X?

Regards raichoo
