Interesting testimonials section. Two out of five are "this looks interesting" and "this might be useful." Another two seem unclear on if they've actually used it. The last one does seem to be from an actual user (and is very positive, for what it's worth).

I first heard of memray last week when Anthony Sottile covered it https://youtu.be/bw5AHdZA7e4?si=HCP1JQKXpkFCh7ul

I have a hard time listening to him knowing how unsavory he tends to be in response to GitHub comments and issues. He has made some good tools for sure but his interpersonal comportment is quite off putting.

You just gave them another one:

For those Python programmers out there, if you don't mind sharing your experiences, do you spend any time at all on the REPL? If so, what fraction of the time, approximately? Using IPython, JupyterLab, or something else? Or do you just run it directly from an VS Code or PyCharm? Anything you may want to add about your routine would be appreciated.

Oh, if you (experienced programmer or not) happen to know about a good site or YouTube channel to see Python programmers in action (as opposed to tutorials), please share.

Thanks in advance, and apologies for the digression.

Work with a ton of ETL and web APIs, and build internal tools. Almost everything new starts off in a notebook and then either moves to a standalone .py, ends up in aws lambda (typically Zappa flask projects), or in an airflow dag.

Almost never ever use the REPL.

I'm probably not the average python programmer.

But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.

I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ). But everything else I tried was to "clunky" for me.

Though I work with data scientists, and they love to do everything inside jupyterlab.

I use “breakpoint()” a lot for debugging. It’s by far my #1 tool for figuring out why something isn’t working. Recommend you learn how to use it.
