getting the value of an attribute from pdb

[Gary Wessle]

Hi

how can I "using pdb" get a value of an attribute?, read the docs and
played around with pdb 'p' for no avail.

thanks

class main:
def __init__(self, master):
self.master = master
self.master.title('parent')
self.master.geometry('200x150+300+225')
....
root = Tk()

ignore the following if you are not interested on how I tried

(Pdb) n

-> self.master.geometry('200x150+300+225')

Hello Gary,

(Pdb) p root.title
<bound method Tk.wm_title of <Tkinter.Tk instance at 0xb717c16c>>
(Pdb) p root.title[Tk.wm_title]

Looks like "title" is a function, try "p root.title()"

HTH,
Miki
