When I said "run from command line", I meant something like
$ python Lib/test/test_pickle.py
I am not sure if this uses runpy machinery, but I suspect it does.
The trace output should not include runpy calls that load the trace
module itself, but
$ python -m trace <flags> Lib/test/test_pickle.py
might show the runpy calls that occur when you run
$ python Lib/test/test_pickle.py
without tracing. BTW, too bad that '-m' is taken, but I think
trace.py should grow a --run-module option so that you can trace
equivalents of python -m executions:
$ python -m trace <flags> --run-module test.test_pickle

I think you should ask python-dev. :-) Note that most C/C++ coverage
tools do include pre-main calls in coverage. In case of C++, a lot
of things may happen before main().
Whatever the solution is, it should be unified between trace, profile,
and pdb modules. |
