New version of CodeInvestigator.
CodeInvestigator version 3.2.0 was released on August 21. Release notes: Bug fixes: - Chrome browser: search by value - less memory usage Changes: - nested iterations remain at selected iteration as much as possible - block colours now follow a set pattern - searches are now grouped in subgroups - user can now use middle-click to open functions in a sepatate tab - user can use refresh back forward and bookmarks - more shortcut keys - printout position retained over iterations - iteration tabs can now be scrolled through CodeInvestigator is a tracing tool for Python programs. Running a program through CodeInvestigator creates a recording. Program flow, function calls, variable values and conditions are all stored for every line the program executes. The recording is then viewed with an interface consisting of the code. The code can be clicked: A clicked variable displays its value,a clicked loop displays its iterations. You read code, and have at your disposal all the run time details of that code.

Testers please for CodeInvestigator
I have released version 3 of CodeInvestigator. It is a web-application that allows you to visualize the flow of data through your program. It is intended as a way to easily learn about how your program does its thing. Softoxi has done a review of the previous version: http://www.softoxi.com/codeinvestigator.html Version 3.0.0 can be downloaded from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=183942 I would be interested in bugs and things that you think should be included. The 'wouldn't it be nice if ...' features. Thank you! Martien Friedeman -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

CodeInvestigator 0.11.0 release
CodeInvestigator version 0.11.0 was released on June 14. Changes: - CodeInvestigator can now be used with FireFox 3.0. - I've removed the alert box when a run finishes. - Thread support: - You can view 'Entry points': Entry points into a program. - The mainline of every Python program has an entry point. Each import has an entry point. - Every function where the call can't be clicked has an entry point: Every thread has an entry point. Every callback has an entry point. - The tabs above a function have been removed. You now access a call by clicking the call in the code, or if the call is made outside of the code, clicking its entry point. Bug fix: - Searches were not canceling properly. A note on its use: - If you see the 'CodeInvestigator has been stopped' alert box and you did not navigate away from it: Try using the 'NoScript' FireFox Add-on. I believe it makes the 'onunload' event more reliable. CodeInvestigator is a tracing tool for Python programs. Running a program through CodeInvestigator creates a recording.

CodeInvestigator 0.10.0 released.
CodeInvestigator version 0.10.0 was released on April 28. This release fixes 2 bugs: Exceptions were not handled correctly. Recursive programs were not handled correctly. Thank you Sze Meng for reporting these! A usability change was made: Until now you could only go to a specific iteration by clicking the '' tab. This becomes a nuisance when there are many iterations. Now, when there are many iterations to choose from, you can click a selection tab that allows you to jump.

CodeInvestigator version 0.7.3
CodeInvestigator version 0.7.3 was released on February 21. This release fixes a bug. When a user views code and closes the view of a variable value, the marker-bar on the right side of the window shows. This bar should only show when a user scrolls away from code.

Re: Testers please
That's amazing! We had the same idea. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Testers please
Thanks for getting involved. And kind remarks. The labeling of 'false' and 'true' is just for shortness sake. The condition itself could be quite a mess and span several lines. You mentioned that. The only reason I like to display it, is to show whether a block of coding, the colored bit, is performed or not. Without that you would find out anyway; nothing becomes underlined when you move your mouse in that area: Nothing in that area is interactive. Because nothing happened there. Even when the condition itself shows on the tab, not just the outcome, the user would still need to scroll up to that tab if it was not visible. The user interface is in HTML, maybe a tooltip when one moves the cursor over a colored condition block could show up that shows the condition and its value. I hate them tooltips though. They make the whole interface so jumpy. More work in that area needed then. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Testers please
Thanks Stef! I looked at that area of storing large structures. That would seriously make the whole thing much more complicated. Say you have object 'foo' and it has lots of attributes. If you're only accessing foo.length in the statement 'if foo.length 12:' why should I store everything about foo? Its 'length' is the only attribute accessed, therefore I only store its 'length'. And therefore you can not click on 'foo', only on 'length'. No video shows such an example though. On the other hand if you had the statement 'if foo:' then 'foo' would be able to be clicked, and it would say '__main__.Foo instance ... etc. The usual. No attributes though. The interface is web based; I was going to make it as universal as possible. The web server is required to do the Ajax thing and display pages. Makes it harder to install too, unfortunately. The size of the 'recording' is a major drawback, it was clearly not meant to record the processing of millions of records. I need to find a way to specify the area in the code that needs recording. Thanks for the suggestions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Testers please
Thanks for that for that Scott. Most of hassle is storing the program flow. For example: Iteration 3 of the loop starting on line 12 has itself a loop on line 15 that has 14 iterations. Iteration 4 of the loop starting on line 12 has a completely different set of iterations for the loop on line 15. If at all(!) All that is stored in a tree which I pickle and write to the database. Massive program runs will create large trees. And this pickling is expensive. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Testers please
I have written this tool that allows you to look at runtime data and code at the same time. And now I need people to test it. The easiest way to see what I mean is to look at some videos: http://codeinvestigator.googlepages.com/codeinvestigator_videos It requires Apache and Sqlite. It works for me with a Firefox browser on Linux. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
