time-travel-debugger 0.1.1

A time-travel debugger for Python with step-backward execution.

Time-Travel Debugger 🚀

A Python library that allows step-backward debugging, making debugging more visual and interactive. This tool helps developers inspect past states of their program without restarting execution, enabling efficient debugging.

📌 How This Idea Came to Mind

While solving problems on LeetCode, I often performed dry runs to manually track variable changes. I realized that a tool that could rewind execution steps and visually display variable changes would make debugging much easier. This led me to create Time-Travel Debugger—a library that allows developers to step backward and forward in execution history seamlessly.

✨ Features

• Step forward and backward through execution history.
• View variable changes at each step.
• Set breakpoints for controlled debugging.
• Interactive CLI mode with visual debugging powered by rich.

🔧 Installation

pip install time-travel-debugger

🚀 Usage

from time_travel_debugger import TimeTravelDebugger

def sample_function():
    a = 10
    b = a + 5
    c = b * 2
    d = c - 3
    print("Final result:", d)

# Initialize debugger
debugger = TimeTravelDebugger()

debugger.start_debugging(sample_function)

debugger.debugger_cli()

🛠️ Debugging Commands

Command	Description
f	Step forward to the next execution state
b	Step backward to the previous state
q	Quit the debugger
