tl;dr Instead of debugging with LOG.debug and/or print() statements all over the place, use the pysnooper decorator [1]. I came across this on Hacker News this morning - if you're like me and are too lazy to invest in learning a real debugger, and instead do it with LOG.debug/print()s all over the place, pysnooper might be useful to you. This line from the README feels particularly relevant to me ;)
What makes PySnooper stand out from all other code intelligence tools? You can use it in your sh***y, sprawling enterprise codebase without having to do any setup.
I tried it out with a random Nova unit test by decorating the function being tested, and it gave me the expected analysis of how the function executed. Just sharing this, I hope it might be useful to someone :) [1] https://github.com/cool-RR/pysnooper
