Perhaps it's a matter of preference. I found it convenient, since passing in a boolean expression allows me to get rid of extra if-blocks thus reducing lines of code and increasing debugging speed. I wanted to share my idea with the community - but please feel free to close the issue if you find it trivial. ############## SAMPLE USE CASE ############## import pdb def square(i): pdb.set_trace(trigger=not isinstance(i, (float, int))) print(i**2) # debug: hunting for TypeError a = 2 square(a) # will not execute set_trace() b = None square(b) # will execute set_trace() ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38054> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
