What Hacker News says

2 sources
An extremely useful hidden gem in Rich is its `inspect` function [1]. When called on an object, it pretty prints a list of its public attributes (though you can also request private and dunder attributes) [2]. It can also be called on a class or function; it'll then pretty print the docstrings, parameters with types, methods, etc. It's great for debugging and for starting to code with libraries you're not familiar with, don't have comprehensive documentation, or have some dynamic aspect. In a similar vein, `objexplore` [3] is another library that lets you dive into an object's nested attributes to understand how it's laid out. In interactive debugging sessions I often find these to be more useful than the IDE's features which provide similar functionality. [1] https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/init.html#ri...
