show object attributes, not just local variables

[rtphokie]

Consider this code:

class Foo():
    
    def __init__(self):
        self.a = 1
        self.b = 2
        self.c = None
        
    @pysnooper.snoop()
    def myfunc(self):
        localvar = 5
        localvar += 1
        self.c = self.b + self.a

pysnooper's output when calling myfunc:

Starting var:.. self = <snooptest.Foo instance at 0x1052c5b90>
08:50:38.552499 call        16     @pysnooper.snoop()
08:50:38.553309 line        18         localvar = 5
New var:....... localvar = 5
08:50:38.553382 line        19         localvar += 1
Modified var:.. localvar = 6
08:50:38.553457 line        20         self.c = self.b + self.a
08:50:38.553560 return      20         self.c = self.b + self.a

The values of self.a, self.b, and self.c are not shown by pysnooper but are the primary purpose of this method. parameters on self should also be shown as starting values in methods decorated by pysnooper

That's what the `variables` argument is for. Also, if the classes' `repr` uses these attributes, they'll show up even if they aren't included in `variables` .

But doesn't that defeat the purpose of this easy to use debugging decorator? Having to specify which variables you want to be instrumented?

It's true that specifying variables is annoying. However, if we tried to guess all the attributes that might interest the user, we might have guess too much, overcrowd the output, lose performance and cause exceptions.
