Debugging Python Scripts inside other processes

I embedded Python in a Windows C++ program. Now I want to debug my
embedded scripts which of course won't run in any IDE process.
Commercial IDEs like WingIDE can attach to external processes by
importing a module in the scripts. Is there a debugger capable of this
which is Free or Open Source?

What I need are the following things:
- runs in Windows
- single stepping
- variable watches
- breakpoints

Just the typical debugger stuff.

I used hapdebugger for such a purpose some time ago, but I believe it
needs a special startup python.exe.

I looked at it, but couldn't get it to work. A special python.exe won't
work for me since I only link against python24.dll, nothing else

Is there any emerging consensus on the "best" UI for toolkit. Tk never quite made it but from what I can see, both qt and wxWin are both doing fairly well in general. I'm already aware of the licensing issues surrounding qt (fwiw, I think their license fee for commercial use is eminently reasonable), so aside from that, I was wondering if there was any feedback readers could provide on the following: 1) Which plays best with Python?...

I just figured out a reasonably decent way to use pdb in SciTE for debugging Python scripts. Debugging takes place in the SciTE output window. I have only tested this with SciTE on Windows. Here are the pieces you need: 1. Create a debug.py script file (I save this in c:\usr\python\scripts): import sys from pdb import pm, set_trace

Hi all, I've got an application that I'm writing that autogenerates python code which I then execute with exec(). I know that this is not the best way to run things, and I'm not 100% sure as to what I really should do. I've had a look through Programming Python and the Python Cookbook, which have given me ideas, but nothing has gelled yet, so I thought I'd put the question to the community. But first, let me be a little more detailed...

Hi All, Did somebody see the situation when the VS refuses to debug the Web Service at all? I can't catch why, the initially created Web Service can be debugged very easy but after some changes in a source code, maybe the source code becomes bigger that some hidden threshold, the debugger can't enter into this code anymore. I can use this web service, all methods but can't see in debugger what's going on. I have already catched this...

Scenario: This is about debugging server side scripts that make calls to middle-tier business DLLs. The server side scripts are legacy ASP 3.0 pages, and the DLLs are managed DLLs converted/developed with VB.NET. What I want from debugging is to be able to step into the methods in the DLLs called from ASP scripts using Visual Studio .NET. Background: For typical script debugging issues, you can read and follow the two documents on...

Hi all, need a little bit of advice on dynamically binding an embedded Python interpreter. First, the code for anyone that wants a look: http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/appscript/browser/py-osacomponent/trunk/PyOSA It's a Python OSA component for OS X. The idea is that you wrap up a scripting language interpreter as a Carbon Component Manager component (similar to writing a COM component); applications can then call the

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
