pytrace

Get information on python program execution (e.g. functions called, lines executed) at runtime.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/yrath/pytrace.git

Examples

The tracer can be created as a context manager as follows:

import os
from pytrace.tracer import trace_execution

class TestClass(object):
    def set_value(self, value):
        self.value = value

def run():
    test_inst = TestClass()
    test_inst.set_value(3)

with trace_execution(traced_paths=[os.path.abspath(__file__)]) as tracer:
    run()

which will output

Note that starting with python 3.2, the context manager can also be used as a decorator with @trace_execution().

The tracer can also be used from the command line with
