pmc(3) c functions are not callable from python scripts, so I use the module ezpyinline.py `pkg_add – r py24-ezpyinline` that precompile c functions but there is not preprocess, so I use `gcc – E /usr/src/lib/libpmc/libpmc.c > freebsdpmc.py` and add python code around this.
A main() function is called if freebsdpmc.py is fired as a script.
I know others are working the hard way to make the same module, with docstrings etc.

The performance monitoring counters API pmc(3) of FreeBSD 6-stable doesn’t support yet Core 2 duo processors, so I can’t work with FreeBSD 6-stable/Parallels/recent Macbook as I thought some time ago. Furthermore Parallels doesn’t support Symmetric MultiProcessor (SMP) yet. Hence I’ll work mainly on a FreeBSD 6-stable/AMDX2 station.

In the recent weeks, I was really busy between the university and research programs both in France and Belgium, dramatic art scenes for the end of the year, the opera troup Рwe played Die Zauberfl̦te auf Mozart Рand a photograph competition (Louis Lumi̬re).
Nowadays I’m getting familiar with Python and wxPython, and building an experimental primitive graphical user interface (GUI).

I’m so happy to work on FreeBSD thanks to the Google SoC grant. I often have ideas I would commit, but time is missing. Visit on the FreeBSD wiki the SoC 2007 page, the pmcgui page and mine.
