Yes, I have been doing this already. I include the line number to help me find, or search for, the location of the print statement. Unfortunately, it requires a keen understanding in which the program has progressed in order to trace.
A printout of every line number executed could help. FootNote: If money does not grow on trees, then why do banks have branches?

Hi, You can use the trace module for that: https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/trace.html Personally I tend to put print statement at strategic places instead, I find that easier to analyse than a full trace but YMMV.

I updated a data file and now my main program is choking on it. When the program encounters an error, it dumps a bit of information to the screen for a few steps before the error but that is not enough.
