Debugging threaded Python code

Hi,

I frequently have to debug some fairly tricky Python multi-threaded
code, and I need some help using the debugger to help me diagnose the
problems when they occur. Yes, I know that the best option with threaded
code that is problematic is to rewrite it, but that's not really an
option that I have (right now).

What would really help me is to be able to see a list of all the
currently active threads, and the Python stack trace for each. At least
then I could see where the failures are happening - deadlocks in
particular. I have to spend a lot of time right now just to reach that
point.

I spent some time trying to achieve this with the Python debugger and
couldn't. This has been bugging me for quite a while now, and I'm
probably just missing the obvious as usual. Is there some simple way I
can do this?

Thanks,
Derek.

I am embedding python in my C++ application. I am using Python *2.3.2* with a C++ extention DLL in multi-threaded environment. I am using SWIG-1.3.19 to generate C++ to Python interface. Now to explain it in details, 1. Python initialization and finalization is done in the *main* thread. 2. For each new thread I create a separate sub-interpreter . 3.

Is there any editor or IDE in Python (either Windows or Linux) which has very good debugging facilites like MS VisualStudio has or something like that. I like SPE but couldn't easily use winPDP. I need tips to debug my code easily. Every help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I'm attempting to create a lobby & game server for a multiplayer game, and have hit a problem early on with the server design. I am stuck between using a threaded server, and using an event driven server. I've been told time and time again that I should use an event driven server design (that is, use twisted). There is a lot of interaction between the clients and they would often need to write to the same list of values, which of course...

I am back against the wall trying to migrate my multithreaded application from Python 2.3 to 2.5. The part of the code that's failing has to do with queues (2.3 queues and 2.5 queues are not the same). Since WingIDE doesn't support multithread debugging (they've been saying that one day they might support that - and that was 2003), I am starting to look for alternatives. debug under Eclipse/Pydev. I did a google search of this...

Hi, I'm interested in the alternatives to debugging C# other than Visual Studio .NET I have a large multi-threaded application, and I find that the debugger that comes with Visual Studio .NET is not powerfu enough. Can anyone direct me to different debuggers that would be better, especially since the application is threaded?
