How to backtrace a function in python 2.7?

I have a big python script, with multiple files, and I need to know where a method was called. Is there a backtrace function in python like debug_backtrace in php?

See the traceback module.

import traceback

def foo():
    bar()

def bar():
    baz()

def baz():
    traceback.print_stack() 
    # or trace = traceback.extract_stack()

foo()

If you would like to debug python

import pdb

then drop a

pdb.set_trace()

Where ever you would like to start debugging

see this site for more information
