Merge lp:~pconnell/ensoft-sextant/entrails into lp:~ensoft-opensource/ensoft-sextant/trunk

[Phil Connell]

Integrate with entrails to enable runtime tracing of Python programs.

Upshot: it's now possible to get callgraphs from Python programs into Sextant.

Specifically, a new context manager is added, sextant.trace(). Any calls inside the with block are traced.

There are also a few minor bugfixes (mostly related to Python 3 support). Commit messages have some details.

[lp:~pconnell/ensoft-sextant/entrails]

176. By Phil Connell <email address hidden> on 2014-08-15

sextant.trace() should take a connection, not a DB URL

177. By Phil Connell <email address hidden> on 2014-08-15

new_program() should raise on errors, not return a different type

178. By Phil Connell <email address hidden> on 2014-08-15

Correct import of web package (explicitly relative rather than implicit)

179. By Phil Connell <email address hidden> on 2014-08-15

Add missing import of names from errors module

180. By Phil Connell <email address hidden> on 2014-08-15

Using logging, not print in sextant.__main__

Setup of logging is a bit hacked in, something to clean up later.
