Hi, Some months ago, I proposed a patch to display the Python backtrace on a segfault. The API was not stable, it was too for Python 3.2, and it was enabled by default. I wrote a module instead of a patch so it can be used on any version of Python, and it has a better API. And now I would like to include the module into Python directly to use it more easily. See http://bugs.python.org/issue11393 for the details. The module:

SIGUSR1) or after a delay in seconds (it may be useful for buildbot hangs without user interaction). You can choose to display the current thread or all threads, and in which file the trace is written. So, what do you think?
