Hello, I am running Win XP,(using Visual Python, with ActiveState Python) writing a Python program that runs a C++ back-end using openGL..(This may not be significant to my question, but I thought I'd mention it). Anyway, The problem is if I set a breakpoint anywhere in Visual Python, the code grinds to a very slow pace. I don't understand why, since Python is interpretive and there shouldn't be much overhead to check for a breakpoint. Also, if I have a breakpoint enabled, there is a 20 second pause from whenever I close the application normally to whenever control is returned to Visual Studio.
1) What gives with the slowdown issue ? Perhaps my understanding of how Python deals with breakpoints is faulty.. 2) Where can I find more info about debugging fairly complex programs effectively in Python ? Is it better to use pdb ? How is this generally done ? Do all Python IDEs suffer from the same responsiveness problems that Visual Studio has ? (for example I cannot break into a running program) Thanks, Chris _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs Other options: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/ActivePython
