Jython Debugger?

[max khesin]

Hi all,
I was takling to someone who has been using Jython for a while. Their
biggest complaint is the luck of a good debugger. I was really
surprised. Isn't there anything decent out there?
thanks,
max

I'm looking for such a thing too. All I've found so far is an announcement
of an Eclipse plugin.

(forgive the simpleton)
How do you envision this working in Jython environment?

thanks,

Max, I didn't hear about Jython until today, but if it runs Python code
it should run the debugger, since it it written in Pythonish.

If emacs is an option you can use a recent version of
python_mode.el with pdbtrack support. Works with python
and jython as well.

Simply place a "import pdb" in your module and add a line
with "pdb.set_trace()" to start debugging from this
line on. Then start your script from within emacs.

Debugging is still done with commandline but emacs
automagically show all the sources with the current line
in its editor window.

I'm still looking for a real graphically debugger though.

What visual features do you want that an X/Emacs+gdb+python-mode+pdbtrack
can't give you?

(Un) fortunately the new folk (me) have not fallen for emacs (yet).

I have very much the same answer. Personally I'm satisfied
with emacs and pdbtrack, but I was asked for a solution
not based on emacs, i.e. based on ddd or insight or the like.
