The following are examples of py_syscalls.d.

This is a simple script to count executed Python functions and system calls.
Here it traces an example program, Code/Pythong/func_abc.py.

# py_syscalls.d -c ./func_abc.py

While tracing there were numerous system calls made, including 173 open64()'s, 
and 77 stat64()'s.  There were also many functions called, including 22 each
of abspath, isabs, and normpath by the posixpath.py library.

This script can provide an insight to how an application is interacting
with the system, by providing both application function calls and
system calls in the same output.
