Ah, I should've thought to google for the sh manpage. Locally, man sh
just gives me the bash manpage again which doesn't list -x :-(

In answer to the OP's question, you can use the `trace` module
(http://docs.python.org/library/trace.html):

python -m trace -t somefile.py

will display the lines of source as they are executed.

Cheers,
