python-devtools is a Python library providing an enhanced debug print command with pretty, syntax-highlighted output of variables, expressions, and their types. It is a lightweight development tool designed to improve on the built-in print statement for debugging.
Use cases
- pretty-print variables while debugging python code
- see expression values with file, line, and type info
- debug nested data structures like dicts and numpy arrays
- make debug() available globally without importing
- replace print statements with a smarter debug tool
When to choose
- you want richer debug output than print() with minimal setup
- you need to inspect complex nested data structures during development
- you want a tiny dependency-light debugging helper
When to avoid
- you need a full debugger with breakpoints and stepping
- you need production logging rather than development debugging
- you work outside Python
