Introduction

Quick Debug functions to print informations on the context.

Each function has 3 optional keyword-only arguments :

• i : indent level (defaults to 0)

• indent_str : indent string for one level (defaults to 2 spaces)

• stream : file-like object to output (defaults to stderr)

These two last parameters are actually defaulted to the module variables dbug._Dindent_str and dbug._Dstream.

Each functions F exist in 2 flavours :

• F : normal

• nF : print a new line before

Functions available

• [n]D(*args, **kw) : Simply prints *args

• [n]Dvar(*expr, **kw) : Print for each expression expr : f'{expr} = {eval(expr)}\n'

• [n]DWAI(**kw) : Print W-here A-m I with this format : module.function(param=val_param, param2=val_param2...) # /path/to/function/definition:line_of_DWAI_call

• [n]DNL(**kw) : Print a N-ew L-ine (i and indeit_str have no effect on this one

• Dnop(res, *args) : Returns res, so that one can execute any side effect function in a list comprehension (best used with Dvar())

• DnopL(*args, res) : Same as Dnop but execute the side effects first

Classes Available

There is also the Dbug class which takes as parameters stream and indent_str and have the normal version of the previous functions without the leading D, passing them stream and defaulting the indent level to Dbug.indent_level

• Dbug.__call__(*args, **kw) calls D

• Dbug.var(*expr, **kw) calls Dvar

• Dbug.var(*expr, **kw) calls Dvar

• Dbug.WAI(**kw) calls DWAI

• Dbug.NL(**kw) calls NL

This class is also a context manager and you can do things like

with Dbug(open('log', 'w')) as D :
  D.WAI()
  D.var('a')

As a shortcut to change the indent level for a Dbug instance object, you can use the shift operator

with Dbug(open('log', 'w')) as D :
  D.WAI()
  D>>1  # indent level is now 1
  D.var('a')
  D<<1  # indent level is back to 0

Installation

pip install dbug
