Recipes for trace statements inside python programs?

[samwyse]

I use an @trace decorator.  This (http://wordaligned.org/articles/
echo) will get you started but there are lots of others available.  My
personal preference is a decorator that catches, displays and re-
raises exceptions as well as displaying both calling parameters and
returned values.

btw, here's a cool Python3K (or 2.6 if you turn on print functions)
trick that's sort-of on topic since it relates to log files and such:
import functools, sys
warn = functools.partial(print, file=sys.stderr)
logfile = open(...)
log = functools.partial(print, file=logfile)
# etc.
