Add python debugging support

Open tht13 opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

Use PDB for debugging

  • Quite simple cmd tool to enter commands to step and register breakpoints
  • Use regex to identify results
  • has good tool to identify types of variables

Potential issue is handling when the program crashes as pdb automatically resets to beginning of program

  • [ ] add launching of applications
  • [ ] add catching exceptions
  • [ ] add breakpoints
  • [ ] add stepping

Remote debugging capability (i.e. "attach") would be really nice to have.

I do realize that this is potentially a huge minefield (at least a couple hours searching the web suggest this), would be invaluable e.g. for Plone development though.

Created a new issue for this #11 I haven't researched into it yet but it could be quite challenging. Any help would be appreciated in this :smile:

It would be amazing. I need to debug some CLI applications and I have no way to do this through VSCode.
