xtrace 0.2

This module prints function trace to stdout from the moment it is called:

import xtrace
xtrace.start()
...
xtrace.stop()

It is also possible to call xtrace as module from the command line:

python -m xtrace <script.py> [param] ...

or use as a standalone script:

python xtrace.py <script.py> [param] ...

The output format is that of Xdebug http://xdebug.org/docs/execution_trace But frankly, I didn’t have time to polish it to be exactly the same. If you will find the time and desire to polish it - feel free to send a patch.

This code is released into public domain. Hope you’ll find it useful.
