ipdb with separate kernel/client pushing stdout to kernel process only

[rabbitmcrabbit]

Hey guys -- once again, ipython is awesome.

I'm launching ipython kernel in one terminal, and then connecting either a console or a qtconsole in a separate terminal (so that I can use vim-ipython). However, when I use ipdb.set_trace(), the initial traceback and the output of all my interactive commands are displayed on the kernel terminal rather than the console/qtconsole. I'm not getting this problem with vanilla pdb.

ipdb is not actually part of IPython, so you might want to bring this up over there.

The issue is actually this call to update_stdout, which shouldn't be made.

You can use IPython's debugger from IPython, rather than via ipdb:

from IPython.core.debugger import Tracer
t = Tracer()
t()
