xdev 1.1.0

An excellent developer tool for excellent developers

Xdev - Excellent Developer

Xdev is an excellent developer tool for excellent developers. It contains miscellaneous and/or interactive debugging tools.

I mostly maintain this for myself, but I could see polishing it up in the future.

Remarks

Perhaps I should just use ipdb but I often just like to directly embed with IPython whenever I want:

import xdev
xdev.embed()

Or wherever I want whenever there is an exception.

import xdev
with xdev.embed_on_exception_context:
    some_code()

I don’t feel like I need ipdb’s other features.

I also like to

def func(a=1, b=2, c=3):
    """
    Example:
        >>> from this.module import *  # import contextual namespace
        >>> import xinspect
        >>> globals().update(xinspect.get_func_kwargs(func))  # populates globals with default kwarg value
        >>> print(a + b + c)
        6
    """

But I know these things are a little dirty.

But these aren’t production practices. These are development tricks and life hacks to make working faster.

Also see xinspect for things like autogen_imports

>>> import ubelt as ub
>>> source = ub.codeblock(
>>>     '''
>>>     p = os.path.dirname(join('a', 'b'))
>>>     glob.glob(p)
>>>     ''')
>>> # Generate a list of lines to fix the name errors
>>> lines = autogen_imports(source=source)
>>> print(lines)
['import glob', 'from os.path import join', 'import os']
