Description: 
        Inspector is a re-implementation of Andrew Moffat's Inspect-Shell
        (https://github.com/amoffat/Inspect-Shell).
        
        
        What it does
        ------------
        
        Inspector allows you to read, change or add global variables of your Python
        program from another process (a shell) while your program is running.
        
        You could, for example, add a whole class to your program from the shell and
        rewrite some function so that it starts using your newly-created class. All that
        while your program continues to run! Yes, that's pretty cool.
        
        
        How it works
        ------------
        
        Inspector has 2 modes; server mode and shell mode. Server mode is run by your
        Python program (in a separate thread), while the shell mode is run by the
        inspector itself.
        
        Steps:
        
        1. add `import inspector` to your program
        2. run your program
        3. run the inspector with `python inspector.py`
        4. type code into the shell
        
        Inspector also supports tab completion for your program's variables.
        
        After you're done, exit the shell by pressing Ctrl-D or Ctrl-C, or typing
        `exit`. You program will continue to run with all the changes made. You can run
        the inspector again anytime you want.
        
        You can also import the inspector from a Python shell if you just want to see
        how it works.
        
        Inspector works with Python 2 and 3. See https://github.com/jzib/inspector for
        more information.
