There is no guarantee which branch is \"left\" and which is \"right\", except that it will be consistent for the duration of the program.\n\nA conditional branch goes right.\n\nA call in Python code (event occurs before the call).\n\nAn exception raised from any callable, except for Python functions (event occurs after the exit).\n\nReturn from any callable, except for Python functions (event occurs after the return).\n\nA VM instruction is about to be executed.\n\nAn unconditional jump in the control flow graph is made.\n\nAn instruction is about to be executed that has a different line number from the preceding instruction.\n\nResumption of a Python function (for generator and coroutine functions), except for throw() calls.\n\nReturn from a Python function (occurs immediately before the return, the callee's frame will be on the stack).\n\nStart of a Python function (occurs immediately after the call, the callee's frame will be on the stack)\n\nA Python function is resumed by a throw() call.\n\nExit from a Python function during exception unwinding. This includes exceptions raised directly within the function and that are allowed to continue to propagate.\n\nYield from a Python function (occurs immediately before the yield, the callee's frame will be on the stack).\n\nAn exception is raised, except those that cause a :monitoring-event:STOP_ITERATION event.\n\nAn exception is re-raised, for example at the end of a finally block.\n\nAn artificial StopIteration is raised; see the STOP_ITERATION event.\n\nMore events may be added in the future.\n\nThese events are attributes of the !sys.monitoring.events namespace. Each event is represented as a power-of-2 integer constant. To define a set of events, simply bitwise OR the individual events together. For example, to specify both :monitoring-event:PY_RETURN and :monitoring-event:PY_START events, use the expression PY_RETURN | PY_START.\n\nLocal events ''''''''''''\n\nLocal events are associated with normal execution of the program and happen at clearly defined locations. All local events can be disabled per location. The local events are …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
