Example
We're writing a function that converts a number to binary, by returning a list of bits. Let's snoop on it by adding the @pysnooper.snoop()
decorator:
import pysnooper
@pysnooper.snoop()
def number_to_bits(number):
if number:
bits = []
while number:
number, remainder = divmod(number, 2)
bits.insert(0, remainder)
return bits
else:
return [0]
number_to_bits(6)
The output to stderr is:
Starting var:.. number = 6
15:29:11.327032 call 4 def number_to_bits(number):
15:29:11.327032 line 5 if number:
15:29:11.327032 line 6 bits = []
New var:....... bits = []
15:29:11.327032 line 7 while number:
15:29:11.327032 line 8 number, remainder = divmod(number, 2)
New var:....... remainder = 0
Modified var:.. number = 3
15:29:11.327032 line 9 bits.insert(0, remainder)
Modified var:.. bits = [0]
15:29:11.327032 line 7 while number:
15:29:11.327032 line 8 number, remainder = divmod(number, 2)
Modified var:.. number = 1
Modified var:.. remainder = 1
15:29:11.327032 line 9 bits.insert(0, remainder)
Modified var:.. bits = [1, 0]
15:29:11.327032 line 7 while number:
15:29:11.327032 line 8 number, remainder = divmod(number, 2)
Modified var:.. number = 0
15:29:11.327032 line 9 bits.insert(0, remainder)
Modified var:.. bits = [1, 1, 0]
15:29:11.327032 line 7 while number:
15:29:11.327032 line 10 return bits
15:29:11.327032 return 10 return bits
Return value:.. [1, 1, 0]
Features
If stderr is not easily accessible for you, you can redirect the output to a file:
@pysnooper.snoop('/my/log/file.log')
See values of some variables that aren't local variables:
@pysnooper.snoop(variables=('foo.bar', 'self.whatever'))
Show snoop lines for functions that your function calls:
@pysnooper.snoop(depth=2)
Start all snoop lines with a prefix, to grep for them easily:
@pysnooper.snoop(prefix='ZZZ ')
Installation
$ pip install pysnooper
