Display source code in your editor while debugging with pdb.

Project description

This module is used to hook up pdb, the python debugger, with your editor. This enables it to display the debugged source code during a pdb session.

You can install with pip:

$ pip install PdbEditorSupport

Or download, unpack the package and install with:

$ python setup.py install

Next you need to hook up pdb with this module. See the next sections to see how.

Afterwards your editor should get started automatically whenever you enter a debug session. The current source line will be displayed simultaneously while stepping through the code.

Editors

Sublime Text

For Sublime Text support add this to .pdbrc:

import PdbEditorSupport
PdbEditorSupport.patch(editor='sublime')

Ensure that the subl command line tool has been installed as per these instructions.

The subl command will by default called with -b filename:lineno, where filename and lineno are replaced accordingly.

You can change the default subl command by setting the command keyword option.

You can change the default arguments with the command_args keyword option.

Example with the defaults:

import PdbEditorSupport
PdbEditorSupport.patch(
    editor='sublime',
    command='subl',
    command_args=['-b', '{filename}:{lineno}'])

TextMate

For Sublime Text support add this to .pdbrc:

import PdbEditorSupport
PdbEditorSupport.patch(editor='textmate')

You can change the default TextMate application name with the application keyword option.

You can change the default url used via Apple Script with the url keyword option.

Example with the defaults:

import PdbEditorSupport
PdbEditorSupport.patch(
    editor='textmate',
    application='TextMate',
    url='txmt://open?url=file://{filename}&line={lineno}&column=2')

Other editors

Other editors which allow opening files via the command line can be used as well.

You can use arbitrary shell commands like this:

import PdbEditorSupport
PdbEditorSupport.patch(
    func='shell',
    command='mycommand',
    command_args=['{filename}:{lineno}'])
