#431 break for exception

[Bobby Hesselbo]

I have found the attached patch useful to get debugger breakpoint functionality upon an uncaught exception.
This belongs under https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1008443&group_id=85796&atid=577332
(the new artifact is so I can attach a file).

notes:
it's very crude (eg assigning to findFrame)
it only works for debug launches
no UI support such as enable/disable this behaviour

[Bobby Hesselbo]

patch to pydevd.py

[Bobby Hesselbo]

self-contained example (run under debugger)

[Bobby Hesselbo]

added the script break_except.py which shows the functionality without patching pydev (needs to be run from pydev debugger)

[Sorin Sbarnea (old)]

this is a must for anyone doing debugging.

[Fabio Zadrozny]

Just did an initial implementation (no UI for now).

The api to use it is:

import pydevd
pydevd.set_pm_excepthook()

or passing the exceptions. i.e.:

set_pm_excepthook((IndexError, AssertionError))

This should work when launched in the debugger.

Note: available in the current nightly (version 1.6.0)
