lol. Yes, if you are not in the same directory as Myprogram.py you may have to add be more explicit about where Myprogram.py is. Reminds me of the story of the guy who was so lazy that when he got an award for "laziest person alive" he said, "roll me over and put it in my back pocket." :-) Glad you were able to solve your problem though. For other similarly confused folks I have updated pydb's documentation (in CVS): In contrast to running a program from a shell (or gdb), no path searching is performed on the python-script. Therefore python-script should be explicit enough (include relative or absolute file paths) so that the debugger can read it as a file name. Similarly, the location of the Python interpeter used for the script will not necessarily be the one specified in the magic field (the first line of the file), but will be the Python interpreter that the debugger specifies. (In most cases they'll be the same and/or it won't matter.) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
