Have you tried the trace module from the stdlib?
https://docs.python.org/2/library/trace.html
Has both a CLI and a lib you can use.
See this example:

Hi fellow bangalore pythonistas ,
I am trying to do the following.
I have a moderately complex python module/application X, whose source code
i have access to.
I run X with the following command
python x.py ...
Internally, x.py callls y.py, which in turn calls z.py, etc etc
x.py --->
thanks & true Noufal, but 2 points :
1. i imagine this is a fairly common usecase
you are given some source python codebase , X which is moderately complex
i just want to give X & some typical args which X takes,
to a tool/library, so i get a visual, rough understanding of the typical
call flow
