Announcing the Traceback Assistant, my first open-source Python package that helps developers debug errors effortlessly using AI-powered suggestions.
As a programmer, I often found myself searching Stack Overflow or AI assistants for explanations when encountering unexpected errors.
I wanted a seamless way to get instant, AI-generated insights on why an error occurred and how to fix it—without leaving my coding environment. And thats why I wrote this package.
This package automatically analyzes Python tracebacks and provides concise explanations and potential solutions using OpenAI's GPT models.
Whether wrapped around specific exceptions or applied as a decorator, Traceback Assistant streamlines error handling and improves debugging efficiency—try it today!
Now, lets see some sample code using a decorator:
from traceback_assistant import TracebackAssistant, explain_errors
@explain_errors
def faulty_function():
return 1 / 0
# Call above function
faulty_function()
And the output from traceback assistant which contains the explanation and suggestion to solve the error.
BTW, traceback assistant also prints the original traceback after the suggestion.
To install the package
pip install traceback_assistant
