Ah, I should've thought to google for the sh manpage. Locally, man sh just gives me the bash manpage again which doesn't list -x :-( In answer to the OP's question, you can use the `trace` module (http://docs.python.org/library/trace.html): python -m trace -t somefile.py will display the lines of source as they are executed.
