var-inspector 0.1.1

A package for inspecting and displaying variable information

VarInspector

VarInspector is a Python package designed to inspect and display information about variables and objects in a Python environment. It provides an easy way to quickly understand the types, sizes, and other characteristics of variables within your code, making debugging and analysis much simpler.

Features

• Variable Overview: Get detailed information about any variable, including its type, size, and value.
• Advanced Inspection: Offers detailed introspection for callables, modules, and other complex types.
• Customizable Display: Users can configure the maximum string length and the maximum number of rows to display, tailoring the output to their specific needs.

Installation

Install VarInspector using pip:

pip install var_inspector

Or, if you prefer to install from source:

git clone https://github.com/tyaso777/var_inspector.git
cd var_inspector
pip install .

Usage

Here's how to use VarInspector:

# Creating an instance with custom settings
from var_inspector import VarInspector
view_var = VarInspector(max_str_length=300, max_rows=200)
# or import view_var directly
from var_inspector import view_var

# Just invoking the view_var to display global variables with default settings
view_var()

# Displaying all global variables including special types
view_var(include_advanced_details=True)

# Displaying information about a specific variable
some_variable = [1, 2, 3]
view_var(some_variable)

# Displaying information about a specific variable including special types
view_var(some_variable, include_advanced_details=True)

Example Output

1. Display information about global variables by view_var():

   User-defined and basic type global variables:

   Name	Type	Size (MB)	Len	Value
   Optional	_SpecialForm	0.00	-	typing.Optional
   Sized	ABCMeta	0.00	-	<class 'collections.abc.Sized'>
   VarInspector	type	0.00	-	<class '__main__.VarInspector'>
   view_var	VarInspector	0.00	-	<__main__.VarInspector object at 0x00000213C3AA0A10>

2. Inspect a specific variable by view_var(some_variable):

   Object Overview:

   Attribute	Value
   Type	list
   Module	Unknown module
   Source File	Source file not available
   File Path	File not applicable
   Source Lines	No source line info
   Size (MB)	0.00
   Doc	Built-in mutable sequence. If no argument is given, the constructor creates a new empty list. The argument must be an iterable if specified.

   Attributes and methods of list:

   Name	Type	Signature	Size (MB)	Len	Value
   append	Method	(object, /)	-	-	Append object to the end of the list.
   clear	Method	()	-	-	Remove all items from list.
   copy	Method	()	-	-	Return a shallow copy of the list.
   count	Method	(value, /)	-	-	Return number of occurrences of value.
   extend	Method	(iterable, /)	-	-	Extend list by appending elements from the iterable.
   index	Method	(value, start=0, stop=9223372036854775807, /)	-	-	Return first index of value. Raises ValueError if the value is not present.
   insert	Method	(index, object, /)	-	-	Insert object before index.
   pop	Method	(index=-1, /)	-	-	Remove and return item at index (default last). Raises IndexError if list is empty or index is out of range.
   remove	Method	(value, /)	-	-	Remove first occurrence of value. Raises ValueError if the value is not present.
   reverse	Method	()	-	-	Reverse *IN PLACE*.
   sort	Method	(*, key=None, reverse=False)	-	-	Sort the list in ascending order and return None. The sort is in-place and stable. If a key function is given, apply it once to each list item and sort them, ascending or descending, according to....
