pdb

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hey Erez27,

Figured I'd at least file an issue about pdb. pdb exits out once 
set_trace() is called.

pybw> import pdb
pybw> pdb.set_trace()
--Return--
> <input>(1)<module>()->None
(Pdb)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Python26\Lib\bdb.py", line 50, in trace_dispatch
    return self.dispatch_return(frame, arg)
  File "C:\Python26\Lib\bdb.py", line 84, in dispatch_return
    if self.quitting: raise BdbQuit
BdbQuit

Currently, I have no idea how that would work. The pybw_repl seems to run 
commands by 
using the InteractiveConsole's compile command which makes pdb quit like so:
import code
i = code.InteractiveConsole()
>>> i.compile('import pdb; pdb.set_trace()')
<code object <module> at 00B35F50, file "<input>", line 1>

It definitely doesn't drop down into pdb.

I'm honestly not sure how this thing works and am unable to make a patch for 
it..

actually, nevermind, I've figured it out and it seems unlikely that pdb can 
work through 
an rpc server. It would be awkward, like that first dance once goes to in 
middle school.

I figure that the console must also run in the same memory space (in a thread) 
as 
starcraft. I'm gonna take a look at this & see if I can get it to work :

Good luck.

Things have been frantic at work lately, so update were slow, but I expect I'll 
have 
some time to look into it soon.

thank you!

no problem dude, I've asked around on some different forums and was pointed to 
PyShell using wxWindows.

Would you mind a tie to wxwindows if it means having a debugger?

As long as the tie is optional, I don't mind at all.
