sqa-tracker 0.1.0

A tool to track SQLAlchemy query modifications with a structured execution tree and diffs.

SQLAlchemy Query Tracker

SQLAlchemy Query Tracker is a Python package that lets you track modifications made to SQLAlchemy query objects in real time. Using Python’s sys.settrace along with the Rich library, it generates a detailed, nested execution tree showing function calls, conditional branches (if, elif, else, case, switch), and recognized query modifications—with unified diffs between query states.

Features

• Real-time Tracking: Monitor SQLAlchemy query changes as they occur.
• Rich Execution Tree: Visualize function calls, conditionals, and query modifications as a nested tree.
• Unified Diff Output: Display differences between the SQL before and after each modification.
• Easy Integration: Wrap your session code with a simple context manager—no modifications to your existing queries are needed.

Installation

Download or clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/jiri-otoupal/sqlalchemy-query-tracker.git
cd sqlalchemy-query-tracker

Alternatively, download the ZIP archive from the repository page and extract it.

Usage

Wrap your SQLAlchemy query code using the context manager provided by the package. For example:

from sqlalchemy.orm import Session
from query_tracker import sql_query_trace
from query_printer import print_query_log

# Define your compile function (this example uses SQLAlchemy's compile)
def compile_sqlalchemy_query(query):
    return str(query.statement.compile(compile_kwargs={"literal_binds": True}))

# Within your session, wrap your code with sql_query_trace
with Session(engine) as session:
    with sql_query_trace(compile_sqlalchemy_query, user_file="test_query_tracking.py") as tracer:
        q = session.query(User)
        # ... perform query modifications here ...
        q = q.filter(User.active == True)
        q = q.order_by(User.name.asc())
    print_query_log(tracer.root)

A complete example is provided in the test_query_tracking.py file.
