REQUIREMENTS: Python 2.x or 3.x. Tested with CPython, PyPy, PyPy3.

systemd v. 233 or later is required.

USAGE:

For this module provides a function which may be installed as the
`sys.excepthook` exception handler. It will generate a backtrace
and invoke systemd-coredump(8) to send it to off to the journal
along with some additional metadata about the python process.

When installed, a .pth file is also installed which loads this
module and checks if it should handle `sys.excepthook`. It will be
automatically enabled if /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern specifies
systemd-coredump.

It is also possible to unconditionally install this module as
`sys.excepthook` by calling
`systemd_coredump_exception_handler.install(True)`.
