DebugFlow: a service that checks and runs the code as you write it

Simple python debugger that parses and executes an unit test language. If while, then show just first iteration, allow selecting specific iterations in loops.

Specifications:

• should work on incomplete code/ASTs
• start and code sections with special markings: '###'
• support only sections of code less than 50 instructions
• support self contained code, no lateral effects, no function call evaluation
• we select the starting points for "data flow" with ## and a list of values in the language we are interpreting
• we annotate only identifiers with data flow values
• each annotation overrides inferred/derived annotations

The main idea is to execute code as you type it so you could catch the bugs as early as possible, the following is just simplest version of interface. Interface:

• introduce comments with a key-value structure under the analyzed line
• for each expression we show the value on a a line
• the comments cannot be longer than 10 lines for each line of code
• and the length of a line is maximum 80 chars

Example:

// start the data flow debug region

#[("♠","J"), ("♡", "Q"), ("♢", "K"), ("♣", "A")]
def Straight(deck:list) -> list:
	one_hot = np.zeros(len(RANKS.ALL) + 1)
	# RANKS.ALL: "2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q K A"
	# len(RANKS.ALL): 11
	# len(RANKS.ALL) + 1
	# one_hot: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

	for card in deck:
		# deck: [("♠","J"), ("♡", "Q"), ("♢", "K"), ("♣", "A")]
		# card: ("♠","J")
		for i in RANKS.asIndex(card.rank):
			# card: ("♠","J")
			# card.rank: "J"
			# RANKS: class
			# RANKS.asIndex(card.rank): [0, 1] // evaluate function calls
			# i: 0
	for i in range(len(RANKS.ALL) - 1, -1, -1):
		# RANKS.ALL: "2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q K A"
		# len(RANKS.ALL): 11
		# range(len(RANKS.ALL) - 1, -1, -1): range
		# i: 10
		one_hot[i] += one_hot[i + 1] if one_hot[i] > 0 else 0
		# i: 10
		# one_hot[i]: 0
		# one_hot[i] > 0: False
		# one_hot[i + 1] if one_hot[i] > 0 else 0: 0
		# i: 10
		# one_hot[i]: 0
		# one_hot: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0
		if one_hot[i] >= 5:
			# i: 10
			# one_hot[i]: 0
			# one_hot[i] >= 5: False
			break
	else:
		return []
	hand = []
	# hand: []
	for j in range(i, i + 5):
		# i : 5 // revise
		# i + 5: 10 // revise
		# range(i, i + 5): range
		# j: 5 // revise
		hand.extend(deck.Card(ofRank = RANKS.fromIdx(j)))
		# j: 5 // revise
		# RANKS: class
		# RANKS.fromIdx(j): "5"
		# ofRank = "5"
		# deck.Card(ofRank = RANKS.fromIdx(j)): [("", "5")] // revise
		# hand: [("", "5")]
	return Deck(hand[::-1])
