DevHawk (aka Harry Pierson) has an in-depth blog series on the topic starting here: http://devhawk.net/2009/10/07/hybrid-app-debugging-tracebackdelegate-and-settrace/ But we found that more complicated than what we needed. We have a very simple break, trace, stepper built into Calico [1] based on the standard Python API, but written in C#. See: http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/viewvc/Calico/trunk/Source/Calico/MainWindow.cs?view=markup and items related to: * ProgramSpeed.Value * CurrentDocument.HasBreakpointSet and http://svn.cs.brynmawr.edu/viewvc/Calico/trunk/languages/Python/CalicoPython.cs?view=markup and items related to: * trace * SetTraceOn(this) Hope that helps, -Doug [1] - http://calicoproject.org/Calico_Download > > > Thanks, > > Al > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Ironpython-users mailing list > Ironpython-users@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users > _______________________________________________ Ironpython-users mailing list Ironpython-users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/ironpython-users
