[Python-Dev] Last chance! (original) (raw)

This may screw up the work I'm doing to get the profiler to work transparently with threads. Since I can't promise that the profiler will be in the same thread as the code being profiled, I can't guarantee that PyThreadStateGET() will give the correct thread state, so I grab the thread state from the frame object. Of course, this work is also in the super-early stages of development, so I may go some other direction in the future when I find out that this doesn't work correctly...just pointing out a potential user (victim).

Since the profiler is being invoked from the thread being profiled, how could it end up not being in the same thread?

(If I am missing something, I must be missing a lot about your design, so you might want to say quite a bit more on how it works.)
