--- Begin Message ---Package: python2.5 Version: 2.5.4-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch As a result of i/o buffering, pdb is unable to debug some programs: $ cat foo #!/usr/bin/python import os for i in range(1001): pass os._exit(1) $ yes s | pdb foo | tail | grep .

PYTHONUNBUFFERED can be used as a workaroud. Output is not necessarily deterministic.) Please flush the output buffer on prompt. The attached patch fixes the problem.

--- Begin Message ---This bug has been reported against an ancient version of python (2.5/3.1), that was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze). But even squeeze-lts has now reached end-of-life and is no longer supported. The bug is assumed to be fixed (or no longer relevant) in newer python releases and therefore I'm closing this report now. If the problem is still reproducible in the currently supported versions (python2.7, python3.5/python3.6), feel free to provide more information, reopen and reassign this bug report. Andreas
