When i run winpdg on windows i have this message 👍

La syntaxe du nom de fichier, de répertoire ou de volume est incorrecte.

Current directory:
c:\Users\Benoit\projets\tproj

Command to be executed:
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" /C """C:\Python37\python.exe" "session_manager..\rpdb2.py" --debugee --pwd="i3ELQQAm" --rid=9823679 "c:\users\benoit\projets\tproj\tdebug.py" ""

ConEmuC: Root process was alive less than 10 sec, ExitCode=1.
Press Enter or Esc to close console...
I think the tools does find the file session_manager..\rpdb2.py.
I work on Windows 10
Python 3.7
and the last version of winpdb
winpdb_reborn-2.0.0.1
Successfully installed Winpdb-reborn-2.0.0.1 numpy-1.19.4 pillow-8.0.1 wxpython-4.1.0

Can you show me the exact command that you ran to get this result ?

[bluebird75]

I see the problem and I just fixed it. Can you try with the latest git version ?

I try the new version:

It seems that winpdb does not handle well the fact that is was installed as an egg.

The execution command tries to locate rpdb2.py to launch the debugee. However, this fails in egg because rpdb2.py is not accessible as a single file.

Until I find a proper solution, you can solve this by installing winpdb either directly from git or without resorting on an egg. If you have a full winpdb directory in site-packages, this should work better.

Just adding my experience with winpdb. When I start my program with winpdb with this command:

python -m winpdb myprogram.py

The winpdb GUI is displayed, but in the debugee window I get this:

C:\Users\MyUserID\.virtualenvs\envtest-4VBVv3XT\Scripts\python.exe: can't open file 'session_manager\..\rpdb2.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Environment: Windows 10-64 V2004, Python 3.8.5, using pipenv shell for a virtual environment.

pip list output:

Package        Version
-------------- -------
numpy          1.19.5
Pillow         8.1.0
pip            20.3.3
PySimpleGUI    4.33.0
setuptools     49.6.0
six            1.15.0
wheel          0.35.1
windows-curses 2.2.0
winpdb-reborn  2.0.0.1
wxPython       4.1.1

When you said to install winpdb "directly from git" do you mean use git clone to clone winpdb into the (virtual in my case) the Lib/Site-packages directory? After uninstalling winpdb with pip first, correct?

TIA for any clarification you can provide.

[Edit]: Same error and behavior occurs in a non-virtual command shell environment.
