# pytrace

A function calls/returns tracker for Python.

[![asciicast](https://asciinema.org/a/36177.png)](https://asciinema.org/a/36177)

## How to use me?

Simply download the script pytrace.py and put it in your project

directory.

~~~

# In your project directory:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/juliendelplanque/pytrace/master/pytrace.py 

~~~

Then add the following lines in the file where is located the function

you want to trace.

~~~

from pytrace import function_to_trace

function_to_trace(the_function_you_will_track)

~~~

This will print function calls/returns in the console!

## Examples

See **examples.py**

## What if your terminal does not supports UTF-8?

You can change the strings used to represent function calls/returns

using **set_call_string** and **set_return_string**.

For example:

~~~

from pytrace import function_to_trace, set_call_string, set_return_string

set_call_string("-->")

set_return_string("o<-")

...

~~~
