I wasn't aware of pykdump (and I couldn't get it to run despite my best efforts). It does look similar. As Jeff commented below, he's also been working on another similar tool, crash-python. Clearly, there's a need for this sort of thing and we haven't done a great job of publicizing our efforts, which is part of the reason I presented it at LSF/MM.

Yeah, I’m getting that in the comments section here - lots of tools.

Pykdump has one decent set of instructions and several bad ones. These work, I used them the other day:
https://sourceforge.net/p/pykdump/wiki/Building%20From%20...

Those are python2, but I used them just fine for python3 changing only version numbers.
