[Pydev-code] standalone debugger daemon

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

Hello!
For a small application of mine that allows python scripting I would like to add single step execution, maybe more debug functionality later.
I think that the pydevd daemon may be the ideal solution. Is it documented somewhere if and how to use pydevd without the rest of the PyDev environment?

Thank you
Yoso

Not really... but you should be able to get to it from the tests (they
are not extensive, but I think you should be able to track how
messages are received/sent from the debugger). The tests are at:
http://svn.aptana.com/svn/pydev/trunk/plugins/org.python.pydev.debug/pysrc/tests_python/

and the file: http://svn.aptana.com/svn/pydev/trunk/plugins/org.python.pydev.debug/pysrc/pydevd_comm.py
should have an overview of the communication commands.

Cheers,

Fabio

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

That's not really correct. Other clients can connect without any
closed source extensions (there is a remote debugger part that's
closed source, but that's mostly related to the communication in the
Eclipse side of things... which are only distributed with Pydev
Extensions).

Cheers,
