What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A Python library for quick-and-dirty debugging output that writes values, traces, and interactive console access to /tmp/q with minimal code changes. It supports inline expression debugging via q(), q/, and q| operators, function tracing with @q, and an interactive console via q.d().

Use cases

  • print variable values while debugging python code
  • debug expressions in the middle of a line without temp variables
  • trace function arguments and return values
  • drop into an interactive console from code
  • watch debug output with tail -f

When to avoid

  • you need structured or production-grade logging
  • you need a step debugger with breakpoints
  • your project requires actively maintained dependencies
