## What is this good for?

Have you ever been in a situation where you weren't quite sure what a program was doing? Where the program seems to hang, or seems to spend too long between two stages, or is behaving in a way you don't expect it to? `tracing` lets you see in real-time exactly what is being run, without some of the overhead of using a debugger - like having to set breakpoints or manually advance the program's execution.

## Installation

`pip install tracing`

## Usage

Within code:

```python

from tracing import tracing

with tracing():

  ...  # each line executed will be printed to stdout

```

Within an IPython shell:

```python

In [0]: import tracing

In [1]: %trace enable

```
