inspired by text2mindmap.com i decided to create something similar in python.
Here’s the result:
Code text2mindmap.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import pydot
import sys
def ReadFile(filename):
fh = open(filename)
return [x.rstrip() for x in fh.readlines()]
def CreateEdges(lines):
edge_list= ['' for x in range(100)]
edges = []
for line in lines:
pos = line.count('\t');
edge_list[pos] = line.replace('\t', '')
if pos:
edges.append((edge_list[pos -1], edge_list[pos]))
return edges
def CreateGraphFromEdges(edges, output):
g=pydot.graph_from_edges(edges, directed=True)
return g.write_png('%s.png' % output, prog='dot')
def main(argv):
CreateGraphFromEdges(CreateEdges(ReadFile(argv[1])), argv[2])
if __name__ == "__main__":
main(sys.argv)Source file months.txt
Months of the year

How to generate the image:
$ ./text2mindmap.py months.txt months
Install pydot
Install graphviz

The typical usage to break into the debugger from a running program is to insert
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
at the location you want to break into the debugger. You can then step through the code following this statement, and continue running without the debugger using the c command.
The typical usage to inspect a crashed program is:
>>> import pdb
>>> import mymodule
>>> mymodule.test()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "./mymodule.py", line 4, in test
test2()
File "./mymodule.py", line 3, in test2
print spam
NameError: spam
>>> pdb.pm()
> ./mymodule.py(3)test2()
-> print spam
(Pdb)
</stdin>
As seen on stackoverflow
If you place
import code
code.interact(local=locals())
at any point in your script, python will instantiate a python shell at exactly that point that has access to everything in the state of the script at that point.
^D exits the shell and resumes execution past that point.
You can even modify the state at that point from the shell, call functions, etc.
