After running python -m birdseye.clear_db and executing the program again, I'm now getting this exception when I click on a function from the front page.

birdseye 0.8.1 python 3.6.5 ubuntu 18.04

Current attempt:

I'm not a graphic designer, so I'm hoping that someone more skilled can make this look better. For now, I'm thinking about the general concept.

@Almenon, what are your first impressions of this?

Let me start off by saying great work! Your display is what I wish I had over in AREPL, but I just return the final variables and call it a day :P

If I have time I might be able to work on a VSCode extension for birdseye, are you interested?

It looks pretty simple to implement, it would just require checking if the user has birdseye, spawning a process

python -m birdseye

Then opening localhost:7777 in a preview pane.

I already have a preview pane boilerplate to extend from so that part's pretty much done.

Or theoretically that's how it would work, anyways. I wouldn't be suprised if there was problems along the way.

The idea is to mark a notebook cell for tracing by birdseye (perhaps with some magic %birdseye or %eye) and then when you run the cell it creates a new cell below with the code traced as in normal birdseye, i.e. expressions and statements boxed and hoverable.

This would probably mean some refactoring in this package followed by creating a new package to contain the plugin. I'm not sure of the details at the moment as I've never created a notebook plugin and have very little experience with notebooks in general.

Trying to use birdseye with %load_ext birdseye in jupyter lab, win 10. Getting error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'birdseye' On another machine with win 7 - everything's perfectly fine.

Tried different approaches - with conda, virtualenv, different python versions, etc. No result.

Hi, I've add argparse in birdseye/server.py to handle command line parameters, which for now are host and port for web service. This is an insignificant modify but I do think it's helpful for the people who like to writing their codes over the clouds (where they can hardly open a browser to debug because they are totally command-line environments).

Hi, Love this tool. I keep telling everyone about it. Python 3.8 compatibility would be awesome!

Edit: I forked it, changed nothing besides adding the 'Programming Language :: Python :: 3.8' classifier inside setup.py, pip installed it locally and it works with 3.8 as is (which makes sense).

I felt silly creating a PR for adding a single line.

im extra virgin in programming haha and using on thonny, the thing is, the program open a browser windows and then, dont show how is supposed to, i even make: 0. my private ip dmz, turn down smartscreen (windows) 1 .antivirus defender on all his options 2. make exclusions for firewall, deactivated the firewall, changed the port to various numbers 3. open manually the ports on router, i mean, how unsecure my notebook is supposed to be?! hahaha

packages in thonny: 0. 1.

the bottom of this, is that im trying to understand this code:

def tri_recursion(k):
  if(k>0):
    result = k+tri_recursion(k-2)
    print(result)
  else:
    result = 0
  return result

print("\n\nRecursion Example Results")
tri_recursion(6)

any help will be greatly appreciated, even links with google searches, I'm so lost haha

I'll be going to Pycon in early May to do a poster presentation for AREPL ~ would you like to have birdseye be included in that poster? It falls under the same category of visual debuggers, and I wouldn't mind giving some space on the poster to promote it. Thousands of people attend Pycon each year and it would be a great marketing opportunity for birdseye.

The poster is 36" by 48" - I could give you 9" by 11". You can send me a mockup or pic or whatever for what you want it to look like. The catch is that I'm planning on printing the poster by May 1, so that would not give you a lot of time :/ Sorry about the late notice.

I tried e-mailing you but I'm not sure if it went through spam filter.

I want to be able to decorate functions in an interactive session.

When I try to evaluate such function, it will throw the exception:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '<ipython-input-7-01fc7a9cd10c>'

Initially I thought: go for an easy/hacky fix whenever the filename starts with "<", then replace it with something like "interactive-session".

But I see you depend on it for the source code from filename. You could try inspect.getsource(obj) instead.

I have written a lot of little Python3 scripts by now and now I discovered the "Birdseye" debugger in Thonny and tried it out. It's honestly a great debugger with one big flaw:
Inside an f-string, for example

try:
    raise SyntaxError('Oops!')
except Exception as e:
    print(f'{type(e).__name__}: {e}')

It correctly prints out SyntaxError: Oops! but in Birdseye the f-string is just one block: Would it be possible to split up the f-string into its methods and string parts in Birdseye?

Hi, thanks for birdseye!

I often use it to trace a whole flow, e.g a web request, from endpoint to response. It's especially useful when the flow is complicated and can't be debugged locally.

It can get cumbersome to @eye the first function -> run it -> add an @eye -> run it again -> add the next @eye -> etc.

It would be great if one could e.g

def bar(): ...

def baz(): ...

@deep_eye
def foo(call_bar: bool):
    if call_bar:
        return bar()
    return baz()

Which would be equivalent to simply decorating foo, bar and baz with @eye.

To avoid exploding, maybe a @deep_eye(trace_limit=10) option could be supported.

I know birdseye can trace whole modules, but more often than not, functions call functions from other modules, so I'm imagining a trace of a call tree that spans different modules.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks, Gilad

I am attempting to use birdseye from within another tool, and a part of what it does is modify the source dynamically. This causes attempts to get a filename to fail. Is there a way to get around this without, say creating a temporary file?

As I see in the code of this debugger, the async functions were deliberately forbidden for tracing. What's the reason for it? And can we expect to see this implemented in the future? I mean the tracing of async functions. Thank you.

1. Summary

It would be nice, if will be realized integration birdseye for Sublime Text 3. Plugins for Sublime Text are written in Python.

2. Argumentation

1. Sublime Text — second most common Python IDE (after PyCharm) by Python Software Foundation Statistics.
2. See features of Sublime Text for Python. There is everything except the debugger.

3. Already existing Sublime Text debuggers

1. Plugin Debugger — bugs, not developed from 2014.
2. SublimeDebugger — bugs, poor documentation.

Thanks.
