Python Module to display Dictionairies for debugging - personalt - Jun-19-2020
I have a python application that has three threads that maintain three dictionaries with lists of work that are being processed. As a way to debug I am looking for a module that will allow me to monitor those three dictionaries as records are added or deleted. I have no experience with python GUIs so not sure what i might need.. I definitely want to keep it simple here. the displaying of the dictionaries really only needs to run in my dev environment. I can do the legwork and learn the tool, I just dont know what tool to look at.

If I had to do this I would perhaps try the ttk.Treeview wigdet in tkinter to display the dictionaries as tables.

or:
def display_dict(dictname, level=0):
indent = " " * (4 * level)
for key, value in dictname.items():
if isinstance(value, dict):
print(f'\n{indent}{key}')
level += 1
display_dict(value, level)
else:
print(f'{indent}{key}: {value}')
if level > 0:
level -= 1

You could use an IDE's debugging to view contents of variables
for instance VS code
VS code General Debugging
Python debug configurations in Visual Studio Code
