Python debug

[Boydon]

Hello everyone (it's my first post here).

Sorry, but i don't speak russian.

What I would like to know is if there is a way to debug python scripts with step by step execution, breakpoints and similar stuff. The bliss point would be to be able to use some external IDE like PyDev or Python Tools for Visual Studio.

Thank you very much.

After various attempt the best solution I've found is to copy the pysrc folder somewhere in you stealth script, refernce it in you script and then use the remote dubugger. Is there any better alternative?

Also: is there a way do directly develop script in Pydev taking advantage of the auto-complete features?

Thank you very much.

you can use this http://docs.python.org/library/sys.html#sys.path to set any location for pysrc module
also sys.path can be updated from windows environment variables http://docs.python.org/using/windows.ht ... -variables

yes its possible. to make that happen we need a module named stealth and containing empty definitions of all functions. i need to make it

I used sys.path.append("/my/path/to/pysrc")
I used a copy cause the standard one is missing the _init__.py Anyway I plan to make a short How-to for other people to use (as soon as I find sometime).

Good point.

It was a sample, forgive my professional bias.
