pdb uses os.path.abspath and os.path.normcase to normalize filenames so they can be safely compared (see the canonic method in bdb.py).
I suggest you do the same in your editor; e.g: pdb_filename = ... for buffer in editor_buffers: filename = os.path.normcase(os.path.abspath(buffer.filename)) if pdb == filename: ... found it ... break </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
