frosch - Runtime Error Debugger

Better runtime error messages

Are you also constantly seeing the runtime error message the python interpreter is giving you? It lacks some color and more debug information!

Get some good looking error tracebacks and beautifuly formatted last line with all its last values before you crashed the program.

Installation

$ pip install frosch

Usage

Call the hook function at the beginning of your program.

from frosch import hook

hook()

x = 3 + "String"

Print Exceptions

You can also easily print your catched exceptions to stdout

from frosch import print_exception

try:
  x = [0, 1]
  x[3]
except IndexError as error:
  print_exception(error)

Configuration

Themes

frosch allows to use different themes for styling the output:

Usage:

from frosch import hook

hook(theme="vim")

Custom Themes

You can also define custom themes by by subclassing Style (which is just a thin wrapper around pygments styles) and pass it to the hook. For more information please use the pygments docs.

from frosch import hook
from frosch.style import Style
from frosch.style.token import Keyword, Name, Comment, String, Error, \
     Number, Operator, Generic

class CustomStyle(Style):
    default_style = ""
    styles = {
        Comment:                'italic #888',
        Keyword:                'bold #005',
        Name:                   '#f00',
        Name.Function:          '#0f0',
        Name.Class:             'bold #0f0',
        String:                 'bg:#eee #111'
    }

hook(theme=CustomStyle)

OS Notifications

But wait there is more!

Running longer scripts in the background?

Just add a title and/or message to the hook and it will you give a notification when your program is crashing.

from frosch import hook

hook(
  theme="vs", # VSCode Theme
  title="I crashed!",
  message="Run Number #1444 is also crashing..."
)

This works on MacOS (osascript), Linux (notify-send) and Windows (powershell).
