New submission from Kerrick Staley <kerr...@kerrickstaley.com>:
In PDB, when you use "interact" to enter an interactive shell, the only way to exit that shell is to send an end-of-transmission (Ctrl+D) character. In some environments, such as Jupyter, this is awkward to do. Here is a StackOverflow post where a user encountered this issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47522316/exit-pdb-interactive-mode-from-jupyter-notebook/62546186 I think that the user should be able to type quit() in order to exit the interactive Python shell and go back to the PDB shell, similar to a regular interactive Python session. I think you should also support exit() because the Python shell supports that one as well (quit() and exit() do the same thing, I think the alias exists to help discoverability for new users). I confirmed this issue on Python 3.6.9 and 3.8.3. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 372226 nosy: Kerrick Staley priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Need command to exit PDB interactive shell type: enhancement versions: Python 3.6, Python 3.7, Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41096> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
