devtools 0.5.1

Dev tools for python

Dev tools for python.

The debug print command python never had (and other things).

For more information, see documentation

Install

Just:

pip install devtools[pygments]

(pygments is not required but if it’s available output will be highlighted and easier to read.)

Usage

from devtools import debug

whatever = [1, 2, 3]
debug(whatever)

Outputs:

test.py:4 <module>:
  whatever: [1, 2, 3] (list)

That’s only the tip of the iceberg, for example:

import numpy as np

data = {
    'foo': np.array(range(20)),
    'bar': {'apple', 'banana', 'carrot', 'grapefruit'},
    'spam': [{'a': i, 'b': (i for i in range(3))} for i in range(3)],
    'sentence': 'this is just a boring sentence.\n' * 4
}

debug(data)

outputs:

Usage without Import

modify /usr/lib/python3.6/sitecustomize.py making debug available in any python 3.6 code

# add devtools debug to builtins
try:
    from devtools import debug
except ImportError:
    pass
else:
    __builtins__['debug'] = debug
