traceprint

"I never use the print statement for debugging, but when I do I use traceprint." - Guido van Rossum.

traceprint is a Python package that adds stack trace links to the builtin print function, so that editors such as PyCharm can link to the source of the print call.

Installation

pip install traceprint

Usage

Simply import traceprint to enhance the print function:

import traceprint

print("Hello world")

# Hello world              File "/dev/traceprint/examples/example.py", line 3, in <module>

Some options are configurable:

import traceprint
traceprint.set_options(
    limit=1,                        # Limit depth of stack entries displayed, if limit is above zero
    right_align=40,                 # Number of characters to offset the link text to the right by
    flatten_recurring_outputs=True  # Display recurring outputs (e.g. from a loop) inline instead of multiline
)
