I'm trying for another release of pydb on Feb 13th. Here's what's in NEWS. * pydb script will do a path search to find a script, same as gdb. If compiled Python script is given, we try to find the non-compiled equivalent. * 'help' command now allows an expression and runs Python's builtin help command (pydoc). Add pydoc command to call pydoc externally. * Make prompt string detection in Emacs pydb-track more MS-friendly. Add a unit test for the Emacs interface. * Allow lowercase signal names, e.g. "int" or "sigint" for "SIGINT". * disassemble command allows for a start line and end line to limit disassembly, same as gdb. * Allow limited expressions many places an int parameter is used in a debugger command * Allow "info thread" always. That is we don't need --threading for this * signal command's output more like gdb's. * Add pydoc's help (i.e. python's built-in help) to debugger "help" command * Add "set"/"show" option to force debugger output to be flushed on write. * set/show "cmdtrace" is now "trace-commands" to match gdb 6.6. * work-around a possible Python 2.5 bug manifested in pm/post_mortem where t.tb_frame.f_lineno != t.tb_lineno * Experimental command completion. "complete" command now adds in local and global names on the first word * Handle a quit when called via pydb.debugger(). Also experimental. |
