debugme 1.0

Interactive terminal for inspecting the running state of a python program

Python has a great debugger in pdb, but sometimes you only want to inspect and buck about with the state. The pdb REPL is a bit inconvenient for that, so here’s a different approach. Instead of

import pdb pdb.set_trace()

Just do

import debugme

This starts an interactive interpreter and exits the program when the interpreter ends. If you want to continue, run this in that interpreter

debugme.exit = False

The variables available in the interactive interpreter are the locals and globals of the frame you imported debugme from.
