On the project you wish to debug, installdebugpy:
pipenv install debugpy

From the project you with to debug:

pipenv run python -m debugpy --listen localhost:5678 your-script.py

In another terminal, clone this repo and run:HD_PORT=9000 pipenv run python pov.py

Then open your browser athttp://localhost:9000

By default this will grab the variables of the running program at the time you load/reload the python-objectviewer page. I like this for long-running programs / those that are running in an infinite loop; a quick refresh of this tool and it'll snapshot the current state without needing any modifications of the target program.

If you want to capture the state more precisely you can do something like this in your target program:

# At the start of your programdebugpy.wait_for_client()# At the point in the code you want to capturedebugpy.breakpoint()

The code will then pause at the breakpoint until this tool connects and takes a snapshot of its current state.
