pdb

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

would this be something I should add to pout?

It would be cool if you could also do something like get dumped into a shell, something like:

pout.d()

and at the line that pout.d() is called it will dump the script into a shell where you can look at local values and things like that.

also look at tracemalloc

import tracemalloc

tracemalloc.start()

snapshot = tracemalloc.take_snapshot()
top_stats = snapshot.statistics('lineno')

print("[ Top 10 ]")
for stat in top_stats[:10]:
    print(stat)

I was able to get it to run on a test like this:

$ python -m trace --listfunc --module pyt <TESTNAME>

Could this be useful for something?
