Debugging from within emacs!

[Andrew Markebo]

Argh..

How do I debug my python-code from the inside of emacs, throw some
breakpoints? and fire up the session, check backtraces and so on?

Experimenting I have come this far:

I have put a pdb.bat in my path, containing:
"c:\Program Files\Python23\python.exe" -u "c:\Program Files\Python23\Lib\pdb.py" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

In emacs I do M-x pdb <enter> <enter>, I get the

Current directory is h:/WorkingWith/PyLabView/
h:\WorkingWith\PyLabView>"c:\Program Files\Python23\python.exe" -u "c:\Program Files\Python23\Lib\pdb.py" PyLVcomms.py

<string>(1)?()

(Pdb)

Whatever I try to do now, like doing a step, I get

(Pdb) step
--Call--

and nothing happens.. restart, doing a "n"
(pdb) n

twenty;20;abc;3;abc
{'twenty': ('int', 20), 'abc': ('string', 'abc')}

--Return--

<string>(1)?()->None

(pdb)
