Meet Pobshell. Think cd, ls, cat, and find — but for Python objects instead of files.
Stroll around your code, runtime state, and data structures. Inspect everything: modules, classes, live objects. Plus recursive search and CLI integration.
40s video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d4DgVnqWjQ
What it's for:
- Exploratory debugging: Inspect live object state on the fly
- Understanding APIs: Examine code, docstrings, class trees
- Shell integration: Pipe object state or code snippets to LLMs or OS tools
- Code and data search: Recursive search for object state or source without file paths
- REPL & paused script: Explore runtime environments dynamically
- Teaching & demos: Make Python internals visible and walkable
Pobshell is pick‑up‑and‑play: familiar commands plus optional new tricks.
Install: pip install pobshell
Pobshell is open source, and in alpha release. Tested on MacOs, Linux and Windows (Python 3.12)
