vardbg is a simple Python debugger and profiler that records variable history and execution times, then generates animated videos visualizing program flow. It is designed to help learners understand algorithms by watching them execute step by step.

Use cases

  • visualize how sorting algorithms work step by step
  • debug a python function while tracking variable history
  • profile line-by-line execution times of a script
  • generate an mp4 or gif animation of program flow
  • record a debug session to and replay it later

When to choose

  • you are learning or teaching algorithms and want animated visualizations
  • you want a lightweight python debugger with video output
  • you need to export and replay execution history in

When to avoid

  • you need a full-featured interactive debugger like pdb or an IDE debugger
  • you are profiling performance-critical code where overhead matters
  • you need support for languages other than python
