About the Project
Minitrace is a focused debugging utility that compresses and simplifies Python tracebacks so that developers can immediately spot the root cause of runtime errors.
With built-in highlighting and optional GUI prompts, it is especially handy for developers working across environments, from terminal sessions to small GUI-based applications.
Features
- Shortened traceback output for faster debugging
- Colorized error lines using Colorama
- Optional file selection dialog via Tkinter
- Customizable traceback depth
- File-saving support for preserving crash info
- No external services or internet access needed
- Fully open-source and lightweight (pure Python)

Minitrace helps reduce noise. Instead of adding complexity, it strips Python's traceback output down to what’s essential. Built for speed and clarity, Minitrace stays out of the way until it’s needed.
