Make Python shell show commands as they are done

Question

How do I make the python shell print/show the commands that is done exactly when its done?

For an example is, If my python file contains:

variable = something
IF variable == something:
    print “hello”

So when I run the file in python shell, I want it to print all the commands as they are executed.

Welcome to the Stack! Like @MJanaTil suggested, you could use a line debugger to step through your code line by line. For example, Python comes with pdb as an in-built debugger. A somewhat intuitive tutorial for pdb is provided by DigitalOcean here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-the-python-debugger — Jizhou Yang, Apr 30 '19 at 10:34

You can use the built-in trace module

python3 -m trace --trace file.py
