Debugging Script

This script allows you to use separate loggers to make specific sub-system debugging easier. You don't even have to pass the logger objects between modules; just use getLogger("my.hierarchical.name"). Messages sent to that logger would be handled by itself, then (if not removed by filters) by...

This script is a simple embedded multiline python interpreter built around raw_input(). It interrupts the control flow at any given location with 'exec prompt' and gives control to the user. Allways runs in the current scope and can even be started from the pdb prompt in debugging mode.It...

A free integrated development environment (IDE) for Perl with multiple tools for writing and debugging your scripts. It features multiple CGI scripts for editing, running, and debugging; multiple input files; full server simulation; queries created from an internal Web browser or query editor;...

When Python runs a script and an uncatched exception is raised, a traceback is printed and the script is terminated. Python2.1 has introduced sys.excepthook, which can be used to override the handling of uncaught exceptions. This script allows to automatically start the debugger on an unexpected...

This script allows a user to place debug messages, error messages and standard messages throughout a program. The function name and line number will be added to each debug and error message before it is printed out. In addition, each of these messages can be passed to multiple handler objects...

This script helps you in adding new format specifiers to the logging module. In this example, it's for the user name and the name of the function that logged the message.

Since Python 2.2 there is a handy function in the Garbage Collection Module called get_objects(). It gives back a list of all objects that are under control of the Garbeage Collector. This script implements a way you can extract informations of your application in runtime.The example dumps a list...

In most languages with closures, it is possible to change a closed-over value and have the change visible in other closures which share a reference to the same variable. Python's syntax makes this impossible. Putting your changeable values inside a mutable object like a list-- it may occasionally...

This function makes it easier to use the timeit module from the interactive interpreter. You should just specify function with (optional) arguments to run, optional number of runs, and optional name of module (which if not specified defaults to the name of the function).

When running unit tests, using the verbose flag often provides an extra level of protection against mistakes. When running from the command line, this simply means adding the -v option. If you use an IDE, matters become more complicated. While you can often set your IDE to pass in the -v option...

The Python debugger has not the bash-like tab completion that you can add to the interpreter. Fortunately pdb's interactive prompt is an instance of Cmd, so you can write our own completion function.
