[Tutor] way to see code execution in real-time?

[Serdar Tumgoren]

Hello everybody,

I was wondering -- is there a way to "watch" a program execute by
piping a report of its actions to standard output or to a file?
Basically, I'd like to see the order that functions/methods are
executing as they happen, along with how long each one takes.

Is this something cProfile would do, or is there another tool built
for that purpose?

Thanks!
Serdar
