package

Manhole is in-process service that will accept unix domain socket connections and present the stacktraces for all threads and an interactive prompt. It can either work as a python daemon thread waiting for connections at all times or a signal handler (stopping your application and waiting for a connection).

Access to the socket is restricted to the application's effective user id or root.

This is just like Twisted's manhole. It's simpler (no dependencies), it only runs on Unix domain sockets (in contrast to Twisted's manhole which can run on telnet or ssh) and it integrates well with various types of applications.

Documentation:	http://python-manhole.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

Usage

Install it:

pip install manhole

You can put this in your django settings, wsgi app file, some module that's always imported early etc:

import manhole
manhole.install() # this will start the daemon thread

# and now you start your app, eg: server.serve_forever()

Now in a shell you can do either of these:

netcat -U /tmp/manhole-1234
socat - unix-connect:/tmp/manhole-1234
socat readline unix-connect:/tmp/manhole-1234

Socat with readline is best (history, editing etc). If your socat doesn't have readme try this.

Sample output:

$ nc -U /tmp/manhole-1234

>>> print 'foobar'
foobar

Alternative client

There's a new experimental manhole-cli bin since 1.1.0, that emulates socat:

usage: manhole-cli [-h] [-t TIMEOUT] [-1 | -2 | -s SIGNAL] PID

Connect to a manhole.

positional arguments:
  PID                   A numerical process id, or a path in the form:
                        /tmp/manhole-1234

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
                        Timeout to use. Default: 1 seconds.
  -1, -USR1             Send USR1 (10) to the process before connecting.
  -2, -USR2             Send USR2 (12) to the process before connecting.
  -s SIGNAL, --signal SIGNAL
                        Send the given SIGNAL to the process before
                        connecting.

Features

Uses unix domain sockets, only root or same effective user can connect.
Can run the connection in a thread or in a signal handler (see oneshot_on option).
Can start the thread listening for connections from a signal handler (see activate_on option)
Compatible with apps that fork, reinstalls the Manhole thread after fork - had to monkeypatch os.fork/os.forkpty for this.
Compatible with gevent and eventlet with some limitations - you need to either:
- Use oneshot_on, or
- Disable thread monkeypatching (eg: gevent.monkey.patch_all(thread=False), eventlet.monkey_patch(thread=False)
Note: on eventlet you might need to setup the hub first to prevent circular import problems:
```
import eventlet
eventlet.hubs.get_hub()  # do this first
eventlet.monkey_patch(thread=False)
```
The thread is compatible with apps that use signalfd (will mask all signals for the Manhole threads).

Options

manhole.install(
    verbose=True,
    verbose_destination=2,
    patch_fork=True,
    activate_on=None,
    oneshot_on=None,
    sigmask=manhole.ALL_SIGNALS,
    socket_path=None,
    reinstall_delay=0.5,
    locals=None,
    strict=True,
)

verbose - Set it to False to squelch the logging.
verbose_destination - Destination for verbose messages. Set it to a file descriptor or handle. Default is unbuffered stderr (stderr 2 file descriptor).
patch_fork - Set it to False if you don't want your os.fork and os.forkpy monkeypatched
activate_on - Set to "USR1", "USR2" or some other signal name, or a number if you want the Manhole thread to start when this signal is sent. This is desirable in case you don't want the thread active all the time.
thread - Set to True to start the always-on ManholeThread. Default: True. Automatically switched to False if oneshot_on or activate_on are used.
oneshot_on - Set to "USR1", "USR2" or some other signal name, or a number if you want the Manhole to listen for connection in the signal handler. This is desireable in case you don't want threads at all.
sigmask - Will set the signal mask to the given list (using signalfd.sigprocmask). No action is done if signalfd is not importable. NOTE: This is done so that the Manhole thread doesn't steal any signals; Normally that is fine because Python will force all the signal handling to be run in the main thread but signalfd doesn't.
socket_path - Use a specific path for the unix domain socket (instead of /tmp/manhole-<pid>). This disables patch_fork as children cannot reuse the same path.
reinstall_delay - Delay the unix domain socket creation reinstall_delay seconds. This alleviates cleanup failures when using fork+exec patterns.
locals - Names to add to manhole interactive shell locals.
daemon_connection - The connection thread is daemonic (dies on app exit). Default: False.
redirect_stderr - Redirect output from stderr to manhole console. Default: True.
strict - If True then AlreadyInstalled will be raised when attempting to install manhole twice. Default: True.

Environment variable installation

Manhole can be installed via the PYTHONMANHOLE environment variable.

This:

PYTHONMANHOLE='' python yourapp.py

Is equivalent to having this in yourapp.py:

import manhole
manhole.install()

Any extra text in the environment variable is passed to manhole.install(). Example:

PYTHONMANHOLE='onshot_on="USR2"' python yourapp.py

What happens when you actually connect to the socket

Credentials are checked (if it's same user or root)
sys.__std*__/sys.std* are redirected to the UDS
Stacktraces for each thread are written to the UDS
REPL is started so you can fiddle with the process

Known issues

Using threads and file handle (not raw file descriptor) verbose_destination can cause deadlocks. See bug reports: PyPy and Python 3.4.

SIGTERM and socket cleanup

By default Python doesn't call the atexit callbacks with the default SIGTERM handling. This makes manhole leave stray socket files around. If this is undesirable you should install a custom SIGTERM handler so atexit is properly invoked.

Example:

import signal
import sys

def handle_sigterm(signo, frame):
    sys.exit(128 + signo)  # this will raise SystemExit and cause atexit to be called

signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, handle_sigterm)

Using Manhole with uWSGI

Because uWSGI overrides signal handling Manhole is a bit more tricky to setup. One way is to use "uWSGI signals" (not the POSIX signals) and have the workers check a file for the pid you want to open the Manhole in.

Stick something this in your WSGI application file:

from __future__ import print_function
import sys
import os
import manhole

stack_dump_file = '/tmp/manhole-pid'
uwsgi_signal_number = 17

try:
    import uwsgi

    if not os.path.exists(stack_dump_file):
        open(stack_dump_file, 'w')

    def open_manhole(dummy_signum):
        with open(stack_dump_file, 'r') as fh:
            pid = fh.read().strip()
            if pid == str(os.getpid()):
                inst = manhole.install(strict=False, thread=False)
                inst.handle_oneshot(dummy_signum, dummy_signum)

    uwsgi.register_signal(uwsgi_signal_number, 'workers', open_manhole)
    uwsgi.add_file_monitor(uwsgi_signal_number, stack_dump_file)

    print("Listening for stack mahole requests via %r" % (stack_dump_file,), file=sys.stderr)
except ImportError:
    print("Not running under uwsgi; unable to configure manhole trigger", file=sys.stderr)
except IOError:
    print("IOError creating manhole trigger %r" % (stack_dump_file,), file=sys.stderr)


# somewhere bellow you'd have something like
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
# or
def application(environ, start_response):
    start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type', 'text/plain'), ('Content-Length', '2')])
    yield b'OK'

To open the Manhole just run echo 1234 > /tmp/manhole-pid and then manhole-cli 1234.

Requirements

OS:	Linux, OS X
Runtime:	Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6 or PyPy

Comments

Do not modify anything during fork+exec flow

Recently a reinstall_bind_delay was added to avoid binding of unix socket during fork+exec flow. However the socket is not the only issue in this flow. Changing process signal mask should not be done, as such changes may be inherited by the new process. Generally, since we don't know yet if the manhole is needed, we should do nothing.

This patch changes the semantics of the reinstall_bind_delay so we do not make any modification to child process (except starting a thread) until the delay is finished.

The user visible parameter was shortened to "reinstall_delay", as the user should not be conceded with the internals of the manhole. Internally the Manhole class call it "setup_delay", as this is the delay before setting up the manhole.

Use socket-bounded file wrapper

Hello,

I faced with strange behavior when used this tool — random files/connections were closed after I inspecting session. After debug I found the root cause.

os.fdopen-created file objects only bounded to the fd value. And they do call self.close() on garbage collection. So if such instance is GCed after closing of original socket — it may close another file/connection that reused same fd.

Demo:

import os, socket

local_socket, remote_socket = socket.socketpair()
print('Sockets FDs:', local_socket.fileno(), remote_socket.fileno())

a_file_wrapper = os.fdopen(local_socket.fileno())

local_socket.send(b'x')    # Successful send

# Close original connection, open new
local_socket.close(); remote_socket.close()

new_local_socket, new_remote_socket = socket.socketpair()
print('Sockets FDs:', new_local_socket.fileno(), new_remote_socket.fileno())

new_local_socket.send(b'x')    # Successful send

# Deletion of the file wrapper…
del a_file_wrapper

# … closes unrelated connection
new_local_socket.send(b'x')    # OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

socket.makefile() creates fileobject that is bounded to exact socket instance, so it never closes unrelated fds.

Fix failures with pypy on slow or overloaded build machines

We used to do 500 iterations in the fork_exec test, which is not really needed. With no reinstall_delay, we need only 10-20 iterations to expose this issue, so running 50 iterations is just fine.

Changes for OS X (tested with OS X 10.9/Mavericks only)
use LOCAL_PEERCRED on OS X for checking credentials;

don't do setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVBUF | SO_SNDBUF, 0) on OS X;– things are working properly still anyway, no apparent buffering is present

Avoid deadlock after fork triggered by manhole.cry()
On python 3 and pypy, manhole may trigger a deadlock by writing to stderr while fork is invoked by user code. With correct timing, the child finds stderr lock in locked state, and deadlock when tyring to write to stderr in cry().

This issue can be reproduced when running the fork_exec tests using pypy:

manhole.install() # cry() in manhole thread subprocess.call(['true']) # cry() after fork

It can also be reproduced by this code, with both python3 and pypy:

import os import sys import threading def run(): sys.stderr.write("in parent thread\n") threading.Thread(target=run).start() pid = os.fork() if pid: os.waitpid(pid, 0) else: sys.stderr.write("in child\n")

This patch adds a _CRY_LOCK lock, and ensures that it is held while writing to stderr or forking, and that _CRY_LOCK is released in the child after forking.

If forking functions are not patched, this change does not have any effect. We should consider always patching fork functions, even when we don't want to reinstall manhole, only to avoid this possible deadlock.

Move all gloabls to top of the module

We have too many globals, and they are speard all over the module, making it hard to see the whole picture. Now they are all in the top of the module.

Some gloabls were defined using "a = b = ... = None" syntax. This syntax is hard to read, so these globals are defined now one global per line.

Remove last exception's references if any
code module used underneath stores exception details in sys module.

That creates a memory leak in case of exception in manhole session. This exception encapsulates entire session with all stack frames with their locals and manhole internals (such as ManholeConsole instance and connection file wrapper).

Simple test. Call this via manhole and target process will be 100Mb bigger even after disconnect:

>>> padding = ' ' * 100 * 1024**2 >>> assert 0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<console>", line 1, in <module> AssertionError >>> ^D now exiting ManholeConsole...

User defined locals in manhole shell
Typically, when you add a manhole to existing application, the application was not designed for this, so finding stuff from the manhole shell is hard or even impossible.

This patch adds a new locals optional argument, allowing a user to add application specific objects to manhole shell locals.

Example usage:

manhole.install(locals={'server', my_server})

From the manhole shell, you can now use "server":

>>> server.status()

Installed locals are not inherited by child processes, since they may be invalid in the child process.

1.8.0: pytest is failing and deprecacion warnings

I'm trying to package your module as an rpm package. So I'm using the typical PEP517 based build, install and test cycle used on building packages from non-root account.

python3 -sBm build -w
install .whl file in </install/prefix>
run pytest with PYTHONPATH pointing to sitearch and sitelib inside </install/prefix>

Here is pytest output with some deprecation warnings as well:

"manhole-cli" can NOT connect when we use "socket_path" in the server
"manhole-cli" requires a PID to connect. This doesn't work when the manhole server uses a specified name. "manhole-cli" REQUIRES the parameter to be a number or "/tmp/manhole-NUMBER". Also, "NUMBER" is used to send signals.

So, in order to use "manhole-cli":

We can not use arbitrary names in the unix socket name.

The unix socket MUST be in "/tmp/".

If we relax the regexp in "manhole-cli" to be able to use arbitrary unix socket names, we can not send signals to the process.

manhole socket not removed when terminating a process
Although manhole register the removal function using atexit module, the removal function is not run when sending the process SIGTERM.

To reproduce:

Create a script::

import manhole import time manhole.install(socket_path='exit.manhole') time.sleep(30)

Run the script in the backround

python exit.py &

And terminate it

kill

The removal function is not called, and manhole socket is not removed.

Tested on Fedora 19.

This seems faulty implementation of atexit module.

Workarounds:

terminate the process using SIGINT

manually remove the socket in the application - easy when using socket_path option

Releases(v1.7.0)

v1.7.0(Mar 24, 2021)
Fixed memory leak via sys.last_type, sys.last_value, sys.last_traceback. Contributed by Anton Ryzhov in #59.

Fixed a bunch of double-close bugs and simplified stream handler code. Contributed by Anton Ryzhov in #58.

Loosen up pid argument parsing in manhole-cli to allow using paths with any prefix (not just /tmp).

Source code(tar.gz)
Source code(zip)
v1.6.0(Mar 24, 2021)
Testing improvements (changed some skips to xfail, added osx in Travis).

Fixed long standing Python 2.7 bug where sys.getfilesystemencoding() would be broken after installing a threaded manhole. See #51.

Dropped support for Python 2.6, 3.3 and 3.4.

Fixed handling when socket.setdefaulttimeout() is used. Contributed by "honnix" in #53.

Fixed some typos. Contributed by Jesús Cea in #43.

Fixed handling in manhole-cli so that timeout is actually seconds and not milliseconds. Contributed by Nir Soffer in #45.

Cleaned up useless polling options in manhole-cli. Contributed by Nir Soffer in #46.

Documented and implemented a solution for using Manhole with Eventlet. See #49.

Source code(tar.gz)
Source code(zip)
v1.5.0(Mar 24, 2021)
Added two string aliases for connection_handler option. Now you can conveniently use connection_handler="exec".

Improved handle_connection_exec. It now has a clean way to exit (exit()) and properly closes the socket.

Source code(tar.gz)
Source code(zip)
v1.4.0(Mar 24, 2021)
Added the connection_handler install option. Default value is manhole.handle_connection_repl, and alternate manhole.handle_connection_exec is provided (very simple: no output redirection, no stacktrace dumping).

Dropped Python 3.2 from the test grid. It may work but it's a huge pain to support (pip/pytest don't support it anymore).

Added Python 3.5 and 3.6 in the test grid.

Fixed issues with piping to manhole-cli. Now echo foobar | manhole-cli will wait 1 second for output from manhole (you can customize this with the --timeout option).

Fixed issues with newer PyPy (caused by gevent/eventlet socket unwrapping).

Source code(tar.gz)
Source code(zip)
v1.3.0(Mar 24, 2021)
Allowed Manhole to be configured without any thread or activation (in case you want to manually activate).

Added an example and tests for using Manhole with uWSGi.

Fixed error handling in manhole-cli on Python 3 (exc vars don't leak anymore).

Fixed support for running in gevent/eventlet-using apps on Python 3 (now that they support Python 3).

Allowed reinstalling the manhole (in non-strict mode). Previous install is undone.

Source code(tar.gz)
Source code(zip)
v1.2.0(Mar 24, 2021)
Changed manhole-cli:

Won't spam the terminal with errors if socket file doesn't exist.

Allowed sending any signal (new --signal argument).

Fixed some validation issues for the PID argument.

Source code(tar.gz)
Source code(zip)
v1.1.0(Mar 24, 2021)
Added support for installing the manhole via the PYTHONMANHOLE environment variable.

Added a strict install option. Set it to false to avoid getting the AlreadyInstalled exception.

Added a manhole-cli script that emulates socat readline unix-connect:/tmp/manhole-1234.

Source code(tar.gz)
Source code(zip)
v1.0.0(Jun 5, 2015)
Added socket_path install option (contributed by Nir Soffer).

Added reinstall_delay install option.

Added locals install option (contributed by Nir Soffer).

Added redirect_stderr install option (contributed by Nir Soffer).

Lots of internals cleanup (contributed by Nir Soffer).
