Technologically very cool! I don't know that I'd ever use it for actual debugging, especially as it'll get VERY spammy as soon as you start working with complex objects, but it looks like a fun thing to play with. I see it as a parallel to dis.dis() - one looks at the disassembly and the other at the resulting actions, and between them you can get a fairly good idea of what's happening. Still don't know of any places I'd actually use it productively, but hey, nothing wrong with cool toys :) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
