Re: [Pydev-code] standalone debugger daemon

[Yoso K. <yos...@ym...>]

Hello Fabio,
thank you for the reply. While looking at the pydevd sources another question came up:

It looks like it is only usable with the PyDev Extension which is not open source. Is this correct? Or can pydevd act as a debug server which other clients can connect to without any closed source extensions?

Thank you
Yoso
