Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Pdb says "Running 'cont' or 'step' will restart the program" but it seems to restart on any recognized command other than 'h' and traps everything else. I verified behavior on Win7 with ordinary syntax error 'a = = 1' on installed 2.7.10 and 3.4.3. Removed qualifiers from title.
Doc says ''' python3 -m pdb myscript.py When invoked as a script, pdb will automatically enter post-mortem debugging if the program being debugged exits abnormally. After post-mortem debugging (or after normal exit of the program), pdb will restart the program.''' But not being able to exit could not have been the intention. Looking at the code. ---------- nosy: +georg.brandl, terry.reedy stage: -> test needed title: python3 -mpdb gets stuck in an unexitable infinite prompt loop when running some Python 2 code with syntax errors -> python -m pdb error.py: stuck in unexitable infinite prompt loop versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24957> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
