kolo

/kolo

Kolo is a text-based Python debugger that captures every executed function, return value, local variable, HTTP request, and SQL query into greppable trace files. Use this skill for tricky debugging challenges, to verify that code behaves as expected at runtime, and to see the real data and values passing through the code. Use it to see the real data returned by sql queries or the real http data sent and received. Use it when the user reports something is not working, but you're not sure why - even if the user doesn't explicitly mention "kolo" or "debugging".

Quickstart

Getting started with Kolo only takes a couple of minutes. The fastest way to understand what Kolo does and how it can be helpful is by trying it out on a codebase you work on. But if you're in a hurry or can't try Kolo on your own codebase, you can preview some functionality in our playground.

Trace a Django request

Trace a Django request for inspection, visualization, and debugging purposes.

Install kolo using pip install kolo
Add "kolo.middleware.KoloMiddleware" to the top of your MIDDLEWARE list in settings.py
Start your Django server using python manage.py runserver and make a request to any page.
Browse to localhost:8000/_kolo/ to view your traced request. It should look similar to the screenshot at the top of the page 🚀
