Python traceback signal handler

The library registers a signal handler that will print a traceback into the stdout upon receiving a given signal.

Installation

Add the following line into your requirements.txt:

git+https://bitbucket.org/angelcam/python-traceback-signal.git#egg=tbsignal

and run:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To register the signal handler, simply call the following function:

import tbsignal, signal, sys

# this will register the signal handler for SIGUSR1
tbsignal.register_handler()

# this will register the signal handler for SIGINT and print the output to
# stderr
tbsignal.register_handler(signal.SIGINT, sys.stderr)

To trigger the traceback print, simply run the following command from another terminal:

kill -SIGUSR1 pid
