SetupVariableTracker 0.0.7

Small library to track and log the declaration of new (setup) variables

SetupVariableTracker

Very simple library to track and log the declaration of new (setup) variables.

Usage example

from SetupVariableTracker import SetupVariableTracker
vtrack = SetupVariableTracker(locals())

# Define parameters for this script
setup_variable_1 = "Hello"
setup_variable_2 = "World!"
foo = 1
bar = None

# Create a summary of all newly defined variables
summary_content = vtrack.save(locals(), sort=True)
print(summary_content)

This will print an overview of the declared variables (setup_variable_1, setup_variable_2, foo, and bar) as well as save them in a timestamped .log file.

I know there are more elegant ways to achieve this, but I found this an elegant way to add this functionality to legacy code with very little effort. Hope it'll be useful to others.

Installation

pip install SetupVariableTracker
