Implementation of Rust2018 `dbg` builtin for Python.

Project description

pydbg 🐛

pydbg is an implementation of the Rust2018 builtin debugging macro dbg.

The purpose of this package is to provide a better and more effective workflow for people who are "print debuggers".

The old way:

a = 2
b = 3

print(f"a + b after instatiated = {a+b}")

def square(x: int) -> int:
    return x * x

print(f"a squared with my function = {square(a)}")

outputs:

a + b after instatiated = 5
a squared with my function = 4

The new (and better) way

a = 2
b = 3

dbg(a+b)

def square(x: int) -> int:
    return x * x

dbg(square(a))

outputs:

[testfile.py:4] a+b = 5
[testfile.py:9] square(a) = 4

This project is a work in progress and all feedback is appreciated.

The next features that are planned are:

  • Fancy Mode (display information about the whole callstack)
  • Performance Optimizations
  • Typing information
