Livepython Watch your Python run like a movie. NOTE: Livepython is alpha software. It doesn't handle a lot of edge cases and features may change. Livepython is a desktop app that lets you visually trace, in real-time, the execution of a Python program. In addition, it can track changes in global and local variables as your program is running. Livepython is meant to give you a quick grasp of a program's execution flow. It's less messy than sprinkling print statements throughout your code and simpler to use than debuggers/profilers. Livepython can be launched from the command-line as easily as: livepython [program] [args...] Controls: SPACE: Play/Pause the program. Left/Right Arrow: Change speed of execution. V: Open/Close Variable Inspector. Compatibility Python Version Compatible? 3.6 ? 3.5 ? 2.7 ? 2.6 ? Installation npm install livepython -g Development Livepython has 3 main components: a Python tracer that uses sys.settrace() to intercept every line of your program as it's being evaluated an Electron app that is responsible for the rendering the Livepython frontend a node.js gateway script that manages communication between the frontend and the tracer If you want to make changes to Livepython, you will need to run webpack : webpack Then you can test your built version of livepython by running: bin/livepython [your python program] License MIT
