New submission from Ilya Sandler <ilya.sand...@gmail.com>: Currently, pressing Ctrl-C in pdb will terminate the program and throw the user into post-mortem debugging.
Other debuggers (e.g gdb and pydb) treat Ctrl-C differently: Ctrl-C only stops the program and the user can resume it if needed. I believe current pdb behavior is user-unfriendly (as wanting to stop and then resume the execution is a very common use case which is not supported by pdb at all (I think)). The attached patch changes pdb's Ctrl-C behavior to match gdb's: Ctrl-C will stop the program and the user can resume the execution later. ---------- components: Library (Lib) files: sig.patch.v0 messages: 94764 nosy: isandler severity: normal status: open title: better Ctrl-C support in pdb (program can be resumed) type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file15241/sig.patch.v0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7245> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
