Tipper is a small utility for dumping `stack tracebacks`_ of running Python processes. Included is a module that, when imported, installs a `signal handler`_ for `SIGUSR1`_. Running ``kill -SIGUSR1 [pid]`` will cause the process to dump the current stack trace of each thread to ``$TMPDIR/tipper-[Unix timestamp]-[parent pid]-[pid].log``.
