fixpy is a command-line tool that helps you understand Python error messages. When your Python code crashes, it normally shows a "traceback", a wall of technical text that can be confusing for beginners. fixpy reads that traceback and explains it in plain English, tells you why the error happened, and suggests how to fix it. You run it by pointing it at a script or log file, piping error output directly into it, or pasting a traceback from your clipboard. The results appear in a color-coded terminal panel showing the exact file and line where the error occurred, a plain-English explanation of what went wrong, the reason behind it, and a corrected code example. It supports 14 types of Python errors including syntax errors, name errors, type errors, import errors, and more. For import errors it can even suggest the right pip install command for over 30 common packages. The tool works entirely offline using pattern matching, no AI API calls. It also has a watch mode that automatically re-analyses a file every time you save it, and a JSON output mode for integrating into automated testing pipelines. Explanations are available in English and Arabic. fixpy is written in Python and works with Python versions 3.9 through 3.13. You install it from PyPI using pip. It is MIT licensed, meaning free to use and modify. This is useful for beginners learning Python, vibe coders debugging AI-generated code, or anyone who wants a faster way to understand what went wrong when a script fails.
