Goal: "remote" tracebacks have file/lineno references to local source code Current Problem: tracebacks have file/lineno references that point to one large file (consisting of all source code of all modules that we sent as a bootstrap). Makes debugging execnet harder. solution variant 0: minimal change to source code at master side: send name/source pairs at slave side: put each module into own file, re-using basename of source file solution variant 1: aimed at simplicity pack and send zip of py lib containing py.__.execnet, py.__.thread, etc put this into some file-location at the other side, add it to sys.path (or experiment with zipfile-imports over RAM and sys.meta_hooks/path_hooks) solution variant 2: aimed at minimizing bandwidth usage initiating side receiving side ------------------------------------------------------------- loop: send [dottedname1: hash1] serve_hash_requests if not lookup(hash1): send(dottedname1: hash1) content = receive(hash1) else: content = get(hash1)
