New submission from Chiel ten Brinke: There are several reasons why one would need to debug in a terminal window other than the debuggee terminal window, for instance when we have a curses application. The pdb doesn't support a tty command like gdb, which would allow this. Instead, it is possible to manually create a Pdb object with the stdin/stdout set to the terminal you want to use (e.g. /dev/pts/6). However, this is quite cumbersome, as command history, autocompletion etc don't work this way. Also, it seems that post mortem debugging cannot easily be done this way, like when running `python3.3 -m pdb myscript.py`.
There should be an easy way to debug properly through a second terminal window. ---------- messages: 206895 nosy: Chiel92 priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: pdb through separate terminal not working properly type: behavior versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20061> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
