[FEATURE] Visualization web tool #24

Closed frankhart2018 closed 3 years ago

frankhart2018 commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Sometimes, debugging the implementation of a certain issue can be tough just from the command line flags (-t, -p, and -c). It would be helpful if there were a web tool for this.

Describe the solution you'd like (if you have any, already) A simple flask and jQuery based web app that takes in user code and allows user to visualize tokens, syntax tree, and compiled byte code. This can then be added to setup.py so as a separate command which can be invoked to run the flask server.

Note: You can only submit a patch if it is approved by one of the maintainers, otherwise the PR will be rejected.

Helpful things to check out for this:

  1. The way these debugging tools are currently embedded in x.py.
  2. Create simple flask backend to return these methods, probably a good idea to separate these debugging tools into a separate sub-module which can be called from both the CLI and the web app.
