Styling Temporary Code

[Emile van Sebille]

Note that if you put additional tests on the
if __debug__ line, everything still gets
optimized out, allowing related debug code
to be effectively turned on or off.

debugWatchList = ["Mod1","Mod2","NewMod"]

if __debug__ and "ThisModName" in debugWatchList:
  print "InDebugCode"

---or---

class Test:
 def __init__(self, watchlist):
  self.data = watchlist
 def __call__(self, target):
  return target in self.data

debugWatch = Test(["Mod1", "Mod2", "NewMod"])

if __debug__ and debugWatch("NewMod"):
 print "InDebugCode"
