All, I've been using the trace module for python (as per http://www.dalkescientific.com/writings/diary/archive/2005/04/20/tracing_python_code.html), and would very much like to have a feature there that I've implemented for perl already.
Namely, I would like output in the format as described on that page, but with the ability to have the running window partitioned into 2, like: /tmp/file.py:13: yy = 12 | = 12 /tmp/file.py14: xx = yy | = 12 where the window on the left shows the actual source code, and the right shows how that code eval's (ie: how the scalars resolve based on their current scope.) Is this possible given the current trace functionality? I've found it an *incredible* time saver with my perl code, especially for hard to find data bugs - to debug I simply look for a pattern which is associated with a given bug, and then backtrack that pattern to where it first appeared in my code. Also, is there a good archive searcher for the python-list archives? Short of doing a complete download of http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/ and indexing it, I don't see how I can do a decent pattern search on previous archive entries.. Thanks much, Ed -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
