New submission from irdb:
I usually insert the following line in the middle of code to start the debugger
from there:
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
More often than not, I need to run some commands immediately after entering the
debug mode, e.g. watch (display) some variables, create some additional break
points, etc.
AFAIK currently you have to enter those commands manually on each run and there
is no simple way to pass those commands from the source code.
Of-course one can invoke pdb as a script ("python3 -m pdb -c ...") and pass the
desired commands to the script. But still using pdb.set_trace() is a popular
method and I think it would be very useful to have set_trace() accept a list of
strings as arguments and execute them right after entering the debugger.
