``paste.evalexception`` lets you interactively debug exceptions in
your WSGI app. ``z3c.evalexception`` is a small wrapper around that
so that it works with the stock Zope 3 application server.
``z3c.evalexception`` provides two WSGI middlewares for debugging web
applications running on the ``zope.publisher`` object publishing
framework (e.g. Zope 3). Both middlewares will intercept an exception
thrown by the application and provide means for debugging.

Here's a simple PasteDeploy configuration file that sets up the Zope 3
application server on top of the WSGIUtils HTTP server with the
``z3c.evalexception`` middleware::
Interactive AJAX debugger
=========================

``z3c.evalexception.ZopeEvalException`` lets you interactively debug
exceptions from a browser. It is a small wrapper around the
``EvalException`` middleware from ``paste.evalexception``. You can
easily refer to it in a PasteDeploy-style configuration file using the
``ajax`` entry-point:

[filter-app:main]
use = egg:z3c.evalexception
use = egg:z3c.evalexception#ajax
next = zope

[app:zope]
use = egg:zope.paste
site_definition = parts/app/site.zcml
file_storage = parts/data/Data.fs
use = egg:YourApp

[server:main]
use = egg:PasteScript#wsgiutils
use = egg:Paste#http
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 8080

Post-mortem pdb
===============

``z3c.evalexception.PostMortemDebug`` invokes pdb's post-mortem mode
when the application has thrown an exception. You can refer to it in
a PasteDeploy-style configuration file using the ``pdb`` entry-point::

[filter-app:main]
use = egg:z3c.evalexception#pdb
next = zope

[app:zope]
use = egg:YourApp

[server:main]
use = egg:Paste#http
host = 127.0.0.1
port = 8080
