Configuration

Default predicates and action kwargs defaults can be configured via a PYTHONHUNTERCONFIG environment variable.

All the actions kwargs:

• klass

• stream

• force_colors

• force_pid

• filename_alignment

• thread_alignment

• pid_alignment

• repr_limit

• repr_func

Example:

PYTHONHUNTERCONFIG="stdlib=False,force_colors=True"

This is the same as PYTHONHUNTER="stdlib=False,action=CallPrinter(force_colors=True)".

Notes:

• Setting PYTHONHUNTERCONFIG alone doesn’t activate hunter.

• All the options for the builtin actions are supported.

• Although using predicates is supported it can be problematic. Example of setup that won’t trace anything:

  PYTHONHUNTERCONFIG="Q(module_startswith='django')"
  PYTHONHUNTER="Q(module_startswith='celery')"
  

  which is the equivalent of:

  PYTHONHUNTER="Q(module_startswith='django'),Q(module_startswith='celery')"
  

  which is the equivalent of:

  PYTHONHUNTER="Q(module_startswith='django')&Q(module_startswith='celery')"
