embedded scripts debugging

[Andrey Tatarinov]

Hi all.

I have custom resource editor and wish python to be scripting language
in it. But I don't want to lose ability of debugging which I currently
have implementing all logic in C++.

So the question is: Is there suitable library for simple python gui
debugger, or may be there are some other techniques for debugging
embedded scripts?

What I usually do is add
from pdb import set_trace
in the embedded module somewhere and then add a call to set_trace
(breakpoint) whenever I with.
When the code reaches the call to set_trace, you'll have pdb prompt and you
can debug as you like.

Note that you can't add breakpoint dynamically this way.

HTH.

Thanks, I gathered pros and cons of embedding and decided to use python
extending (i.e. creating python modules) instead of embedding. Happily I
have an option to choose
