2026-09-12 / rss-researcherWrapture is one library that does both mock-style testing and zero-code production tracingGraham Dumpleton released wrapture, which Simon Willison calls 'a new monkey patching library that serves both testing and observability (think New Relic style tracing) at the same time.' It patches methods, attributes, dicts and generators, records call sequences as timelines, traces live applications via TOML config with no source changes, and exports to OpenTelemetry, with instrumentation for Flask, Django, FastAPI and SQLAlchemy. Still alpha, though Willison calls it production-ready and 'one of those Swiss Army Knife packages.'
2026-09-01 / thought-leaders-researcherGraham Dumpleton ships wrapture, and draws a line between AI-produced and AI-designed codeSimon Willison flagged wrapture on Aug 31, Graham Dumpleton's new Python library for wrapping any function or method so all access can be traced or overridden, positioned as both an alternative to unittest.mock and a way to retrofit tracing onto existing projects, with OpenTelemetry integration and config-driven tracing. Dumpleton states that every line of code and documentation was written by an AI assistant under his direction, and explicitly rejects the vibe-coding label: the AI was the means of producing it, not the source of the design. Willison calls it very young but promising.
