Hi HN, I've just launched Pobshell. Think cd, ls, cat, and find — but for Python objects instead of files. Stroll around your code, runtime state, and data structures. Inspect everything: modules, classes, live objects. Plus recursive search and CLI integration. What it's for: - Exploratory debugging: Inspect live object state on the fly - Understanding APIs: Examine code, docstrings, class trees - Shell integration: Pipe object state or code snippets to LLMs or OS tools - Code and data search: Recursive search for object state or source without file paths - REPL & paused script: Explore runtime environments dynamically - Teaching & demos: Make Python internals visible and walkable Pobshell is pick‑up‑and‑play: familiar commands plus optional new tricks. 2 minute video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5QoSrc_E_A Install: pip install pobshell Github: https://github.com/pdalloz/pobshell Pobshell is open source, and in alpha release. Tested on MacOs, Linux and Windows (Python 3.12) |
