hello,
How can I find the correct case of a filename ?
Background in my program I use case sensitive filenames, just like
Python requires.
Now I've integrated pdb into the program,
but pdb acts somwhat strange:
upon a breakpoint it gives the filename always in lowercase (probably
this only happens on windows).
So is there a way to get the correct case of a given filename in lowercase
?
One solution might be to make the comparison in my program always with
lowercase,
but then I'm sure the program won't work on non-windows systems.
btw, why does pdb behave that way ( Python 2.5 ) ?
I doubt it does. It sure doesn't on unix, and I fail to see any reason why
it should do that on windows - given that the total number of lower() in
pdb.py amounts to one, and that's used to process user-input such
as "Yes", "y", "YES" or whatnot.
Yes I'm pretty sure, two reasons:
1. when I perform a step_into, jumping into a file that doesn't have
breakpoints itself (meaning my program doesn't even know of this file),
pdb returns a lowercase filename
2. rpdb2 (probably based or even inherited from pdb) has the same
behavior. Asking the writer of rpdb2, I got some excuse (which I didn't
understand) why he had done it that way.
Are you sure you are not processing the content through some lower()-call
when embedding pdb?
But maybe pdb does ?
thanks anyway,
Stef
