So, ehm, *cough*, I actually found myself explaining to adam the other day how useful the Wing IDE debugger can be. I just committed some stuff that hopefully makes it real easy to use either wing or PDB for debugging. Let me know if it doesn't work. Justin, you might want to try this out. You can get a free license to Wing IDE for working on open source software (see http://wingware.com/store/prices#discounts). cheers, Leo Using a Real Debugger(tm) with Gump3 ------------------------------------ Running `./gump help` shows two debug-related command line options: debug -- run pygump in debug mode, attaching pdb debug-with-wing -- run pygump in debug mode, attaching the Wing IDE Which have docs: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./gump help debug Run pygump in debug mode. Usage: ./gump debug [gump.py-args ...] This is not the same as executing the 'run' command with a '--debug' parameter. Using this command will actually start the command line debugger pdb to run gump in, whereas the '--debug' option customizes the log verbosity gump will use. This command otherwise accepts the same arguments as the 'run' command. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ./gump help debug-with-wing Gump3 Run pygump in debug mode. Usage: ./gump debug [gump.py-args ...] This is not the same as executing the 'run' command with a '--debug' parameter. Using this command will actually start the debug connector for the Wing IDE and attach it to the gump process, whereas the '--debug' option customizes the log verbosity gump will use. This command otherwise accepts the same arguments as the 'run' command. Usage is something like this: ./gump debug -w \ /home/lsimons/svn/gump/branches/Gump3/fixture/metadata/workspace.xml or for wing ide: export WINGHOME=path/to/wing/2 ./gump debug-with-wing -w \ /home/lsimons/svn/gump/branches/Gump3/fixture/metadata/workspace.xml If you've not worked with debuggers before, you should probably take some time to review the relevant documentation for your choice of - PDB: http://www.ferg.org/papers/debugging_in_python.html - Wing IDE: http://wingware.com/doc/debug/index --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
