-=========================
-Things that cause trouble
-=========================
-
-:history: 20121231T085200, brand new docs.
-
-Coverage works well, and I want it to properly measure any Python program, but
-there are some situations it can't cope with. This page details some known
-problems, with possible courses of action, and links to coverage.py bug reports
-with more information.
-
-I would love to :ref:`hear from you <contact>` if you have information about any of
-these problems, even just to explain to me why you want them to start working
-properly.
-
-If your problem isn't discussed here, you can of course search the `coverage.py
-bug tracker`_ directly to see if there is some mention of it.
-
-.. _coverage.py bug tracker: https://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issues?status=new&status=open

-Things that don't work
-----------------------
-
-There are a number of popular modules, packages, and libraries that prevent
-coverage.py from working properly:
-
-* `execv`_, or one of its variants. These end the current program and replace
- it with a new one. This doesn't save the collected coverage data, so your
- program that calls execv will not be fully measured. A patch for coverage.py
- is in `issue 43`_.
-
-* `multiprocessing`_ launches processes to provide parallelism. These
- processes don't get measured by coverage.py. Some possible fixes are
- discussed or linked to in `issue 117`_.
-
-* `gevent`_, which is based on `greenlet`_, and is similar to `eventlet`_. All
- of these manipulate the C stack, and therefore confuse coverage.py.
- `Issue 149`_ has some pointers to more information.
-
-* `sys.settrace`_ is the Python feature that coverage.py uses to see what's
- happening in your program. If another part of your program is using
- sys.settrace, then it will conflict with coverage.py, and it won't be
- measured properly.

-Things that require --timid
----------------------------
-
-Some packages interfere with coverage measurement, but you might be able to
-make it work by using the ``--timid`` command-line switch, or the ``[run]
-timid=True`` configuration option.
-
-* `DecoratorTools`_, or any package which uses it, notably `TurboGears`_.
- DecoratorTools fiddles with the trace function. You will need to use
- ``--timid``.

-.. _TurboGears: http://turbogears.org/
-
-
-Really obscure things
----------------------
-
-* Python 2.5 had a bug (`1569356`_) that could make your program behave
- differently when being measured with coverage. This is diagnosed in `issue 51`_.
-
-.. _issue 51: http://bitbucket.org/ned/coveragepy/issue/51/turbogears-15-test-failing-with-coverage
-.. _1569356: http://bugs.python.org/issue1569356

-
-Still having trouble?
----------------------
-
-If your problem isn't mentioned here, and isn't already reported in the `coverage.py bug tracker`_,
-please :ref:`get in touch with me <contact>`, we'll figure out a solution.
