I have something of an obsession with debuggers, so I was glad to see this posting. While we're on the subject, I might as well add my own small contribution, which I call Xpdb.
Xpdb is available at http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/xpdb.html Quoting from the beginning of that page: I tend to use GUI debugging tools with Python, but often find that PDB is adequate or even superior. It loads instantly, doesn't take up much real estate on the screen, and its ability to set up aliases/macros is very valuable. (Note too Rocky Bernstein's new PYDB, at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? group_id=61395&package_id=175827.) However, I missed having a window that displays my source code and my current position in it, so I added such a window to PDB, using curses, somewhat analogously to the CGDB variant of GDB (and the -tui option in GDB). The result, Xpdb, is available at http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/Python/Xpdb/Code/. It is nothing fancy at all, mainly just a source window capability added to PDB (though with a couple of extra new features). Norm Matloff -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
