## 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](https://github.com/agermanidis/livepython/blob/master/tracer.py) that uses `sys.settrace()` to intercept every line of your program as it's being evaluated
* an [Electron app](https://github.com/agermanidis/livepython/blob/master/main.js) that is responsible for the rendering the Livepython frontend
* a node.js [gateway script](https://github.com/agermanidis/livepython/blob/master/bin/livepython) that manages communication between the frontend and the tracer
If you want to make changes to Livepython, you will need to run [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/):
webpack
Then you can test your built version of livepython by running:
bin/livepython [your python program]
