Debugging MATLAB and Python functions in the same session

[mikecroucher]

Imagine I have some MATLAB code that calls a python function

x = linspace(-10,10,100);
py.mikesPyFunc.doSomethingInPython(x)

The Python function looks like this

import numpy as np

def doSomethingInPython(vec: np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray:
    """
    Accepts a numpy vector and returns a new vector where each element is:
    sin(x) + log(abs(x) + 1) + sqrt(abs(x))
    """
    print("Inside Python function doSomethingInPython");
    return np.sin(vec) + np.log(np.abs(vec) + 1) + np.sqrt(np.abs(vec))

What I'd like to be able to do is put a break-point in the Python function, lets say at the print function to keep things concrete. Then, when I run the MATLAB code, the debugger stops inside the Python function.

Could this be possible?

@mikecroucher good idea, interesting...

Thanks for the suggestion! This is something we could consider looking into to a future release of the extension. Thanks!
