I don't have anything against debuggers, but I feel more natural to write into the code and this simplifies it.
TBH I haven't tried this or snoop heavily and the project was more of a curiosity of how the internals of python work after I found a relevant SO post.
Honestly I was surprised how easy it was.
If you actually want to use something like this use snoop: https://pypi.org/project/snoop/ it is more feature rich and maintained.
same thoughts. i kind of get the utility of logging the whole application state without breakpoints or stepping through stuff (but maybe debuggers can also do this?), but my first thought was that this is simpler for folks not used to debuggers
It is not unusual for me to have a for-loop running for a few hours as it is processing thousands of small objects or just a few dozen of large ones. A debugger wouldn't necessarily help me in this case and this decorator would be a little easier to set up than a logger.
