Now will all in place I'm trying to test it and I am getting some
strange results:

root@...ber:/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next# tools/perf/python/tracepoint.py
<SNIP lots of seemingly ok lines>

Traceback (most recent call last):

    event.next_comm,
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'perf.sample_event' object has no attribute 'next_comm'
root@...ber:/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next# 

But it shouldn't get there as there is this check:

            if not isinstance(event, perf.sample_event):
                continue


:-\

Trying to debug that...
