# Python Monitoring Trace
- Run the helper with `python scripts/monitor_trace.py path/to/script.py -- arg1 arg2`.
- List available events with `--list-events` and choose events by name.
- Include only specific events with `--include LINE,INSTRUCTION` (comma-separated or repeatable).
- Exclude events with `--exclude C_RETURN,C_RAISE` (comma-separated or repeatable).
- Write logs to a file with `--output trace.log`; omit `--output` to write to stdout.
