disptrace - trace Python statement execution HTML

Disptrace traces Python code execution, generating HTML file to display execused line of codes. The resulting HTML has navigation menu to collapse function calls or hide paticuler modules and functions.

Usage

import disptrace
t = disptrace.DispTrace()
t.runfunc(myfunc)
with open("trace.html", "w") as f:
    f.write(t.render())

DispTrace.render() method generates HTML string of the information.

~/.disptrace file

ignoremodule=sys, os

ignorepath is a list of directories whose modules or packages should be ignored. Each path should deilmited by os.path.pathsep character (':' in Unixes, ';' in Windows).
