Or just put up a paypal address without the cutesy donation screen. I can then make a donation and label it as "goods".

Cheers, Bernd Hey Nir,

now that I think about it - you should have applied for Google’s Summer of Code - I guess they’d have sponsored a student to work on a Python app - it’s their favourite language….

Cheers,

Maybe a insensitive substring-search in the filenames of the available modules. A List with the remaining Matches of the Modules to the right in the Dialog. That List is filtered as you type. --dirk The Open Dialog should be pimped, since there should be a fast way to open a remote File.

I will set up a wiki or some sort of writable document. Google docs maybe? we will see. For the time being, this discussion can begin here. Hi Jean, other GPL software are welcome to integrate rpdb2. There is such a plug-in I have not tried yet for anjuta (http://libanjutapython.sourceforge.net/). Unfortunately, PyScripter and Open Komodo have licenses that do not allow such integration. You can definitely help with development. The main requirements are understanding of wxPython, willingness to develop polished and mature code that conforms to agreed style, and of course the code must not violate copyright of other sources. BTW, people are welcome to check out Jean's Winpdb modification that was posted at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1912661&group_id=145018&atid=760562 I plan this as a refactoring effort. I do not wish a revolution but to begin with little missing features that would make Winpdb much more usable. For example: 1. Hovering with the mouse over a variable name in the source window should pop a tip with its value. 2. The source window should have good search functionality. 3. Better copy paste functionality. 4. usable right click context dialog. 5. Implement a settings dialog. 6. Go over the feature request list at sourceforge for interesting missing features. 7. Some other stuff that people will suggest here. I will soon setup and publish the Winpdb source code as Mercurial repository. This will make collaboration much easier than with SVN.

I already sent you some suggestions about this. I am ok to help you but how can I help you? Development, test... I have a suggestion. What about a rpdb2 integration in another python IDE like PyScripter or Komodo Edit? With such a solution, you can keep to work mainly in the debugger engine. Jean-Philippe Hi Nir,

WinPDB instantly became my most valuable Python tool. Some questions about the overhaul: 1. Where are the specific goals, dreams and wishes for the overhaul being gathered? (In addition to rdb2 issues, what else deserves attention in winpdb?) A wiki page would be nice, though a sticky thread on the sourceforge forum may be good enough. 2. How can I help? (What kind of help do you need most?) At the very least, I can do some field testing of the new code (in the embedded domain), and may be able to help with documentation. -BobC Hi Nir,

I’m a 30-year embedded systems C programmer, and a Python user since 2008 (newbie, using PythonCard). WinPDB instantly became my most valuable Python tool.

Some questions about the overhaul:

1. Where are the specific goals, dreams and wishes for the overhaul being gathered? (In addition to rdb2 issues, what else deserves attention in winpdb?) A wiki page would be nice, though a sticky thread on the sourceforge forum may be good enough.

2. How can I help? (What kind of help do you need most?) At the very least, I can do some field testing of the new code (in the embedded domain), and may be able to help with documentation.
