terminate exectutioin in PythonWin

[Jim]

Hi all

1.Could someone tell me how to terminate execution in PythonWin?

2.Can anyone recommend a free development environment in which you can
save your workspace (e.g. open files, debugging breakpoints etc.)

1) To exit any application:

import sys
sys.exit(0)

2) I'm not familiar with any of these development systems. I use
what comes with ActiveState's PythonWin. It does have debugging
breakpoints, etc.

Thanks Larry.

Actually I meant how do I stop a program running that I have started in
the interpreter. If I get into an infinite loop I can't stop it without
qutting PythonWin.

Then I have to open all the files and re-insert breakpoints etc. :(

Use the "Break into running code" command on the context menu of the
PythonWin icon in the bottom right of the taskbar.

Great thanks! PythonWin isn't hot on keyboard shortcuts but ironically
calls this a KeyboardInterru pt :|

Know any keyboard shortcuts for debug view? e.g. open it, run(debug),
step etc.

Look in the system tray! Right-mouse on the Python and select "break
into running program".

D'oh. I didn't think of that.

A little off-topic, but here's a little more fun with pythonwin. You
can spawn the debugging environment from a normal python script running
outside of pythonwin with:

import pywin.debugger; pywin.debugger. set_trace()

Also note that 'pywin.debugger .set_trace()' can be used anywhere if
you're trying to 'keep' breakpoints in the code without relying an an
IDE or project tracking them for you.

I don't think the keyboard can be accessed in this situation so the
icon is provided.

No, I use PythonWin just as a console and prefer HAP Debugger
although it hasn't been updated for Python 2.4.
