Description: Python debug tracing helper
Provides the Python library 'tracing' to help with logging debug messages.
- This module provides a couple of functions for logging debug messages.
- It is sometimes practical to add a lot of debugging log messages to a
- program, but having them enabled all the time results in very large
- log files. Also, logging that much takes quite a bit of time.

+ using `logging.Filter` to accomplish the same thing, which matters
+ when code is run in production mode. The actual logging still happens
+ using the `logging` library.
