callspect

Inspect execution of python script

This is: proof of concept, so expect buggy behaviour

Usage:

# add command `callspectpy` which collects execution data
pip install callspectpy
# generate execution data from python script path-to-some-scirpt.py
callspectpy -i path-to-some-scirpt.py
# add command `callspect` which is a viewer for data generated by `callspectpy`
pip install callspect
# shows generated data in browser
callspect callspect.txt
# open browser at http://127.0.0.1:5000/

Viewer preview

TODO:

* clearify root aka mainthread
    * should it be displayed?
    * what should be named?
    * viewer adds it or collector adds it
* threads
    * extractor should spit out mainthread or __main__?
        * viewer should consume already spit value (now viewer adds it)
* exceptions in settrace: https://pymotw.com/2/sys/tracing.html
* global variables are shown as arrow to main thread
* create callspectrs?
    * research if possible
