crash-ipdb

Debug Python crashes conveniently: Whenever a Python code crashes, the ipdb (IPython debugger) debugger will be triggered. And the pdb commands can be used to debug your crash.

Usage

First install it with:

pip install crash-ipdb

Then import crash_ipdb in your Python and run your code as usual (./example.py):

import crash_ipdb  # just import crash_ipdb in your Python code

## simple example of source code to be debugged ##
x = 1
y = 0

print(x/y)  # When you see '----> 7 print(x/y)', this will mean you have entered the ipdb, stopping at this line

You will find you have entered into ipdb and can use the pdb commands to debug your code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "example.py", line 7, in <module>
    print(x/y)  # When you see '----> 7 print(x/y)', this will mean you have entered the ipdb, stopping at this line
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

      3 ## simple example of source code to be debugged ##
      4 x = 1
      5 y = 0

----> 7 print(x/y)  # When you see '----> 7 print(x/y)', this will mean you have entered the ipdb, stopping at this line
