Installation

pip install --user quickfix-py

or using pipx

pipx install --spec git+https://github.com/tonyxty/quickfix.py quickfix-py

Usage

quickfix.py foobar.py foo bar

runs foobar.py with command line arguments foo bar under supervision. Once an exception is raised, quickfix.py prints the stack traceback in Vim quickfix format, one frame per line.

docs/vimrc_example provides an example vimrc configuration.

Currently only works for Python 3.x.

Command line options

• By default, only those frames that are in "user" scripts are printed, standard library calls are skipped. --all enables printing all frames.
• By default, quickfix.py catches Exceptions, but not KeyboardInterrupt. --interrupt enables catching ^C, thereby allowing conveniently locating an infinite loop.

thef__k mode

quickfix.py also supports "thefuck" mode, inspired by nvbn/thefuck. When --fuck option is given or the script is run as "thefuck.py", it outputs a line of command that opens sensible-editor at the location of exception. See docs/bashrc_example for idiomatic usages.
