Hi to all, I tried to look for a reference to this issue in the ASPN archive, but I can't seem to find an answer.
I currently work under Linux and have never been able to properly use the Python debugger. Coming from a Perl background, I fail to find a similar simple way to step through my code the way I am able to do it through the -d flag using Perl on the command line. It is so painless. I have used Python on Windows, usually writing my programs using Vim, and entering the PythonWin environment to debug my programs. It is a good environment to do that, although I prefer my independent editor for writing my programs. I once paid for ActiveState's Komodo for Linux to use as an IDE, but I find it bloated and slow, not to mention the need to constantly upgrade if you want to keep up with versions (have not done it yet). Does anyone have any suggestions as to an alternative to PythonWin, or even better still, a reference to a good tutorial on how to use my current tools: how to use the python debugger as the way Perl debugger works? I am certain the Python interpreter (being better that Perl in that sense) must have a way to use the debugger. I work under Linux using vi/gvim and ipython (I have never really tried IDLE). Thanks in advance for any help. Victor _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
