Summary: 208/py2.3: Registry ToolbarDebugging-Bar964

Initial Comment:
After some debugging sessions (pywin.debuger.pm()...
some irregular "not pumping" states as it happens
sometime ..) there are about 1000 of
ToolbarDebugging-BarXXX folders filed up in the registry:

some 20 in "Pythonwin Debugger"

and some 900+ in "Python for Win32"

Starting and exiting Pythonwin very slow (thus always
saves all?)

This should be fixed now.  The ToolbarDebugging keys won't be
created at all now, and will be ignored if they already exist.
Not sure if it's worth the trouble to change the setup scripts
to delete any existing keys.

I ran into this recently myself.  It appears the
calls to LoadBarState and SaveBarState using 
"ToolbarDebugging" are completely superfluous, since
the state of the Debug toolbar is already saved in the
"ToolbarDefault" section.  Has anyone seen an excessive
number of ToolbarDefault keys being created ?

that massive accumulation happened definitely during using
208 yesterday - within one or some sessions within hours.
The debugger was a few times in strange states. See below.

Maybe the difference is also, that they accumulate in
"Python for Win32" and not in "Pythonwin Debugger"?

Yet, I used the debugger (also) with
pywin.debugger.pm()/.run() from the Interactive pane.

Yes, I may have tried to reenter the debugger while
debugging. There are usually "alread pumping" warings and
not allowed and so - as no sub-debugging is possible like in
pdb. The debugger also enters sometime into states, where it
freezes somehow on all attempts to run or step something and
just says "not pumping" - also while the debugger is
obviously not anymore active and I want to just run things.
Then I have to restart Pythonwin. 

Thus there may be a mode confusion problem behind that bug
or Pywin doesn't know correctly if its debugging or not ...

As the debugger is a complex thing, especially when
windowing apps are debugged, the debugger freeze / confusion
is acceptable. 
Yet the protection against that massive accumulation of
registry should maybe work on a lower level.

Reopened it - though the bug obviously happens only upon
intense use of the debugger. 
It took long to find out why Pywin startup _and_ exits _and_
enters/leaves the debugger very slow.

This should have been fixed a few builds ago (but sadly the
fix did not include deleting the bad entries).  Please try
deleting those keys (or just delete the parent key) and try
again - you should find only 20 or so are created (which is
normal).  Please reopen this bug if that is not the case.
