Changelog¶

1.5.0 (2017-08-31)¶

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
