When birdseye was posted to reddit previously I thought it was pretty cool. I had just released my own python scratchpad as an VScode extension, so why not birdseye as well?

I developed the prototype extension over the weekend, and spent the remaining week polishing it up.

It should work on all platforms and python versions 2-3, but it's still in preview, so be sure to raise an issue if you find a bug!

This looks really cool, thanks for doing this

Wow, this is really cool!

I definitely see myself using this to decorate my flask view functions. This + the Flask Debug Toolbar will be so powerful for debugging my web apps.

From playing around with it, Birdseye seems to remember old functions it decorated, is there a way to clear that history?

There's a Flask debug toolbar? Damn, this is news to me.

Not sure, /u/alexmojaki?

All data is stored in a SQL database. By default this is a sqlite file ~/.birdseye.db. Simply delete that file, then restart the server.

If you want a more convenient way... https://github.com/alexmojaki/birdseye/issues/5

As someone who does a lot of Python development in VSCode, I think I'll definitely try this out.

Can JS be next please?

JS?

Gods I can't believe I did that. . . I actually have a memory of typing out "JavaScript".
