Python is widely used for software development. By universities, companies and many more. So is Python an utopia that will solve all computer problems?

Did you know you can inject code into a running Python process? You can usePyrasite for that. This needs Python 2.4 or higher.

You can watch a demo here:demo

It comes with several programs, including a shell

$ pyrasite-shellUsage: pyrasite-shell <PID>

So you can inject a payload

$ pyrasite <PID> payload.py

You can find someexample payloads here.

So if you have the process id , you can inject anything into the running program.

There's also aGUI. It lets you easily monitor, analyze, introspect, and alter running Python programs.
