how to monitor method calls

[Darrell]

Check out pdb in the docs and see the "how it works" section.
    sys.settrace(func) sets the global trace function

For the line method name stuff check out the exceptions module.

Also here's some code.
def myDirExcept(howFarBack):
        """
        Get the directory of the module running at "howfarBack "
        in the stack frames
        Unix stores a relative path
        Windows stores an absolute path
        """
        try:
                raise ZeroDivisionError
        except ZeroDivisionError:
                f = sys.exc_info()[2].tb_frame

        for i in range(howFarBack):
                f = f.f_back

        t = f.f_code
        # Try dir(t) for a list of useful stuff
        fname = t.co_filename
        p = string.split(fname, os.sep)
        fname = string.join(p[:-1], os.sep)
#        print "Usr Mydir:",fname, "\n"*5
        return fname
