Is there a log file that tracks every statement that is being executed when a program is running?

[Steve]

Yes, I have been doing this already.  I include the line number to help me find, or search for, the location of the print statement.  Unfortunately, it requires a keen understanding in which the program has progressed in order to trace.

A printout of every line number executed could help.

Hi,

 

You can use the trace module for that: https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/trace.html

 

Personally I tend to put print statement at strategic places instead, I find that easier to analyse than a full trace but YMMV.

This would seriously help troubleshooting for me.  I updated a data file and
now my main program is choking on it.  When the program encounters an error,
it dumps a bit of information to the screen for a few steps before the error
but that is not enough.

I am unsure if this will help but you could try putting an r in front of the
quotes to make it take raw data only.
ie.

with open(r"HOURLY-LOG.txt", 'r') as infile
