[Jython-dev] Support for sys._current_frames

[Fabio Z. <fa...@gm...>]

Hi Jython devs,

I've just updated the PyDev debugger to drop support for older Python
versions and it seems I ended up breaking debugging in the current Jython
version because of it...

The issue is that PyDev now requires sys._current_frames to be implemented
by the interpreter (available since Python 2.5), but it seems this is not
available for Jython -- this is needed so that the debugger can be faster
(i.e.: it runs with untraced frames until some breakpoint is actually added
-- at that point it gets the current frames and sets the tracing in them).

So, I'd like to check how feasible it'd be to have this support in Jython.

Thanks,

Fabio
