embedded scripts debugging

[Andrey Tatarinov]

Hi all.

I have custom resource editor and wish python to be scripting language
in it. But I don't want to lose ability of debugging which I currently
have implementing all logic in C++.

So the question is: Is there suitable library for simple python gui
debugger, or may be there are some other techniques for debugging
embedded scripts?

Hello Andrey,

debugger, or may be there are some other techniques for debugging
embedded scripts?

What I usually do is add
from pdb import set_trace
in the embedded module somewhere and then add a call to set_trace
(breakpoint) whenever I with.
When the code reaches the call to set_trace, you'll have pdb prompt and you
can debug as you like.

Note that you can't add breakpoint dynamically this way.

HTH.

Thanks, I gathered pros and cons of embedding and decided to use python
extending (i.e. creating python modules) instead of embedding. Happily I
have an option to choose
