In plain words

Watchpoints is a Python library that provides watchpoints functionality, making it easier for developers to monitor variable changes during debugging. It offers a straightforward alternative to traditional debugging methods by allowing programmers to set watch expressions on variables and receive notifications when they change. The tool is designed for Python developers who want to streamline their debugging workflow without complex setup or configuration.

  • Httpdbg – A tool to trace the HTTP requests sent by your Python code2024 · github.com · ▲200

    Hi, I created httpdbg, a tool for Python developers to easily debug HTTP(S) client requests in Python programs. I developed it because I needed a tool that could help me trace the HTTP requests sent by my tests back to the corresponding methods in our API client. The goal of this tool is to simplify the debugging process, so I designed it to be as simple as possible. It requires no external dependencies, no setup, no superuser privileges, and no code modifications. I'm sharing it with you today because I use it regularly, and it seems like others have found it useful too—so it might be…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
