(Raphael Gaschignard) When dealing with a misbehaving Python program, classic strategies like adding piles of print statements can be unsatisfying. Fortunately, Python gives us many ways of "looking inside" a running Python process, getting very rich information instantly.
We will look at how we can introspect live Python processes, uncovering what a program is doing, and why it’s doing it. We will also cover pragmatic tips on how to tailor these tools for your own problem’s needs, including when restarting your process isn’t an option!
