Wat

help says too much, usually you'd like a quick overview slightly formatted and well classified, which is what wat seems to afford here

Waaat :D. This is so nice. I used to use python-ls[0] for similar, but something about it that I can't recall broke for me and it's no longer maintained. Adding to my debugging…

I think it makes a lot of sense in the context of a live interpreter. Wrapping and object in help() or dir() is an annoying set of movements vs. just pressing 5 keys with no…

I love it

Re: Insta-load Please don't do this. Exec'ing arbitrary, obfuscated code you just copied from the internet directly in a running environment is such a bad idea it shouldn't even…

Looks like a great tool. Will start playing with it whenever I have to dive into an existing project again. One thing I'd like to note, though, is that most engineers (at least…

Pip install allows arbitrary code execution.

This looks super useful, but I was wondering if I'm the only one bothered by this recent trend of overloading completely unrelated operators (here the `/` operator) in the name…

This is interesting. I'm wondering what compelled the author to use the division magic method for arguments instead of the more intuitive and commonly used approach to passing…

I get the reasoning behind it, but the choice of the division operator is still a little weird. I believe it should be equally possible to overload the bitwise OR operator (|),…

> from wat import wat Given the cool nature of this project, I'm surprised they don't offer simply "import wat" with identical usage syntax. Thus inviting curious users to…

Looks great! And it would make for a great addition to Jupyter lab. I actually can't believe there is still no decent variable explorer bundled in

I'm normally a big fan of python operator overload hacks, but why are we doing `wat / foo` instead of just `wat(foo)` ?

just so that it is clear for everyone, including newbies here, does the insta-load code snippet work like this: the author has encoded the wat module's source code into base64.…

Looks like a fancy version of good old icecream. https://github.com/gruns/icecream If you never heard about it, scroll to the bottom to…

rich.inspect has been my go-to for this. Comes pre-installed in a vanilla Colab kernel too

It important to remind everyone that you can already do something similar via the build-in function help(). For example, if I run help({1}) I get the documentation for a set,…

and the dir() built-in Python function.

See snoop[0], which does just this. It also has an install function that registers it in builtins, making it universally available. [0] https://pypi.org/project/snoop/

Check out the module “q”! It’s callable, its author talked about how great it would be to have a module level __call__ because the way it was made callable is super wonky.
