This seems like very useful information. In the documentation I've been maintaining for the extended python debugger (http://bashdb.sf.net/pydb) I've added this as a little footnote: http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/pydb/lib/pydb-invocation.html#foot1113
However since pydb allows for options on it's own, I wonder if there might not be a way do this from *inside* a Python debugger/program. Specifically so that when an execfile is called, it is as though -Werror were given initially. Possibly by setting sys.warnoptions? Anyone know offhand if that or something else will work? I'll do the testing myself if someone can give a small python program that gives such a warning. (I realize most people contributing to comp.lang.python write programs flawlessly the first time so they've never come across such a warning message either, let alone have need for a debugger; but this thread suggested that the perhaps there might such a person who has seen a Python warning message exists. :-) "Fredrik Lundh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > "LorcanM" wrote: > > >> python -m pdb -Werror myprogram.py > > > > It sounds like what I want, but it doesn't work for me.
