[Pydev-code] Disconnecting/Reconnecting to Debug Server

[Keith L. <cgc...@gm...>]

I was wondering if there is any plans to support disconnecting/reconnecting
to the debug server. Right now you can create a debug server from within
eclipse, and then connect to it from an external interpreter via
pydevd.settrace(...). but as far as i can tell its not possible to then
disconnect from the server once connected without restarting the
application. In most cases this is OK but we started using this to debug our
scripts that are running from with Maya and restarting Maya really isn't an
optimal workflow. A better workflow would be to be able to connect to the
debug server when i need to start debugging and once i'm done, disconnect
from the server, and be able to reconnect at a later point when i need to
debug some more without a restart of Maya.

sorta something like this:

pydevd.connect(stdoutToServer=True, stderrToServer=True)

import myModule
myModule.myFunction()

pydevd.disconnect()

I've tried to hack a solution up myself but because i
don't totally understand whats going on under the
hood, I've only succeeded in crashing Maya.

Any help would be great.
