In this episode, I will show you how to fix these errors that is most likely to happen in a python virtual environment.
– ImportError: cannot import name ‘BPF’ from ‘bcc’
– ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘bcc’
I also explained why the issue was happening.
What is eBPF?
eBPF stands as a groundbreaking technology rooted in the Linux kernel, enabling the execution of sandboxed programs in a privileged context, such as the operating system kernel. This innovation allows for the secure and efficient expansion of kernel capabilities without the need to modify kernel source code or load kernel modules.
What is BCC?
BCC (BPF Compiler Collection): BCC serves as a framework enabling the seamless integration of eBPF programs into Python scripts, primarily designed for application and system profiling/tracing. This framework streamlines the process of gathering and presenting statistics or event data in a user-friendly format. When you run the Python script, it generates eBPF bytecode and loads it into the kernel. I chose to initiate my eBPF programming journey with BCC because of its extensive toolkit, documentation, examples, and the supportive community it offers.
