Cut a new release on pypi

[morotti]

Would it be possible to cut a new release on pypi?

Last release is 0.10.2 from October 2019. https://pypi.org/project/pdbpp/#history
Problem: that release doesn't work with current versions of python/ipython.

Personally, I had to remove pdbpp from all venv/projects because it broke stack traces and made debugging impossible.

#397
#430
#426

Notice how bug reports end with "can't reproduce [in master]". Fixes may be in master however they won't be available to end-users until there is a release.

Oh, the synchronicity... I just came to ask for the same thing 😃

See the pinned issue: #260 - there are many changes, and packaging needs to get addressed / fixed.

It would be possible to release from the release-0.10 branch, but that also requires to fix CI (#441).
IIRC my plan was backporting #426 there.

Unfortunately I do not have much free time to work on pdb++ currently, but started with fixing CI last weekend though a bit.

Fixes may be in master however they won't be available to end-users until there is a release.

It's not that hard to install/use it via git+https with pip after all.

For those who never installed a package from GitHub before:

Also the listed video (link above) explains this very well.

I just needed to install pdb++ from GitHub in order to test the pygments formatter configuration from the README for #440 as this feature was added after the last release.

So, I am also looking forward to a new release very much.

Even after having a glimpse on #260, I certainly can't oversee what needs to be completed and why, before a new release will be created, but I do not see much difference in creating a release from current master and/or asking users to install pdb++ from current master. Certainly, a working CI is necessary, but you did already great work last weekend.

Or what do you think about an alpha release? This would be really great for the users, as an e.g. pip install pdbpp=0.11a1 is certainly easier to handle than a pip install git+https://github.com/pdbpp/pdbpp@b62a3381bd1db8fa3ffaa46579f477b187e2f37c

It also would be easier to spread word about the upcoming version and ask users to alpha test the pre-release.

The current situation ( #260) seems really complicated for an outsider, so I do not think I could be of any help - except maybe testing.

That all said I am super grateful for your commitment and your spent spare time.

JFI: I am working on getting the release-0.10 branch (0.10.x) back on track in #445.

Started working towards releasing 0.10.3 in #447.
Will backport #426 there.
Let me know if there are more issues that should be fixed/backported there.

0.10.3 has been released now.
