Call graph introspection

Source code: Lib/asyncio/graph.py

asyncio has powerful runtime call graph introspection utilities to trace the entire call graph of a running coroutine or task, or a suspended future. These utilities and the underlying machinery can be used from within a Python program or by external profilers and debuggers.

asyncio-introspection-tools Command-line tools for inspecting tasks in another running Python process.

Print the async call graph for the current task or the provided Task or Future.

This function prints entries starting from the top frame and going down towards the invocation point.

The function receives an optional future argument. If not passed, the current running task will be used.

If the function is called on the current task, the optional keyword-only depth argument can be used to skip the specified number of frames from top of the stack.

If the optional keyword-only limit argument is provided, each call stack in the resulting graph is truncated to include at most abs(limit) entries. If limit is positive, the entries left are the closest to the invocation point. If limit is negative, the topmost entries are left. If limit is omitted or None, all entries are present. If limit is 0, the call stack is not printed at all, only "awaited by" information is printed.

If file is omitted or None, the function will print to sys.stdout.

The following Python code

Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically):
```python
import asyncio

async def test():
asyncio.print_call_graph()

async def main():
async with asyncio.TaskGroup() as g:
g.create_task(test(), name='test')

asyncio.run(main())

will print::

* Task(name='test', id=0x1039f0fe0)
+ Call stack:
| File 't2.py', line 4, in async test()
+ Awaited by:
* Task(name='Task-1', id=0x103a5e060)
+ Call stack:
| File 'taskgroups.py', line 107, in async TaskGroup.__aexit__()
| File 't2.py', line 7, in async main()
```

Like print_call_graph, but returns a string. If future is None and there's no current task, the function returns an empty string.

Capture the async call graph for the current task or the provided Task or Future.

The function receives an optional future argument. If not passed, the current running task will be used. If there's no current task, the function returns None. …
