[oi-dev] DTrace probes in Python 2.7 (and next 3.3)

[Andrzej Szeszo]

Hi Jesus

Just noticed that there is a python 2.7 package in Oracle's userland 
repo here:

<http://hg.openindiana.org/upstream/oracle/userland-gate/file/ea6a3f09379c/components/python/python27>

It includes DTrace patch. Did you see/use that?
