tracecode
tracecode records the execution of a Python script to create a standalone HTML viewer.
It is intended for instructors who want to make a program's execution visible:
- step through the source code forward and backward
- jump forward or backward to any line of code
- see variable values
- observe function call mechanics
- see console input/output at each step
- observe
if,elif, andwhilecondition outcomes - watch exceptions unwind the call stack
Output HTML files are completely self-contained and shareable.
Check out the interactive live demos.
Installation
Requires Python 3.12 or later.
To install:
pip install tracecode
Use
Run a script with the tracecode command:
tracecode --auto-open path/to/script.py
The HTML trace is written next to the script, with the same name and an .html extension. --auto-open opens it in a browser. Arguments after the script name are passed to the script:
tracecode path/to/script.py first-argument
