Expect this Inquisition!

One of the things I’ve been working on lately, aside from my resumé and everything else, is a little object inspector for Python objects. I plan on using it to debug PyPy translation test failures, as the object trees are often complex, and I think this will help me.

I’ve put the code up on github at http://github.com/Ademan/Inquisition the basic usage is to call inspect_object(my_object) or inspect_dictionary(my_dict) to inspect either an object or dictionary. This specifies a root node to start browsing at. You’ll need a bleeding edge version of urwid that has the treetools module
