A Python library that produces enhanced exception tracebacks showing source code context and the current values of nearby variables. It prints to the console or returns a string suitable for logging, making crashes easier to diagnose without an interactive debugger.

Use cases

• debug python exceptions with variable values
• print better tracebacks in log files
• show source context and variable state on crashes
• format exceptions for error logging
• debug code running on remote servers with only logs
• replace default python traceback output

When to choose

• you need detailed crash diagnostics in log files where no debugger is available
• you want variable values captured at the moment of an exception
• you want a lightweight drop-in replacement for Python's default traceback formatting

When to avoid

• you need a full error monitoring and aggregation service like Sentry
• you want an interactive step debugger
• you are not working in Python
