Winpdb 1.4.6 Tychod is now available for download at http://winpdb.org/download. As of this version Winpdb can debug runaway recursions. Runway recursions are an Achilles Heel of all Python debuggers. Since debugger logic is invoked with each new script frame, recursion limit is naturally hit by debugger code causing it to break down surprised, corrupted and defeated. First among its kind, Winpdb now handles recursions gallantly, effortlessly, with a smile. Try it.
Winpdb 1.4.4 Tychod is available for download at http://winpdb.org/download. The new version fixes a major regression to exception analysis.
Winpdb 1.4.2 Tychod is available for download at http://winpdb.org/download. The new version is compatible with Python 3.0 rc2. GNU/Linux users, please use the source package. Windows users with Python 2.6 or later, please read the instructions in the download page.
Stani Michiels, the author of Stani’s Python Editor (SPE) who is also an architect and artist won a design contest for a new Dutch commemorative 5 Euro coin. Here is the full story as told by him: http://pythonide.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-make-money-with-free-software.html
Stani is also the one who started me working on Winpdb three years ago when he was looking for a debugger for SPE.
Congratulations Stani!

Did you know that on GNU/Linux Winpdb allows you to magically step into a spawned child process?
As if the world needed another mailing list, a new Google Group mailing list has been created to which you can post anything related to Winpdb: http://groups.google.com/group/winpdb
Chris Lasher recently migrated his excellent tutorial on Winpdb and debugging in general to the Winpdb Wiki. Thanks Chris!
I have set up an initial Wiki for Winpdb in response to a comment by BobC about collaboration. In addition Winpdb is now published as a Mercurial repository at: winpdb.org/cgi-bin/hgweb.cgi
The Wiki is about development of Winpdb. Now its up to you. Send patches, ideas and good will. Collaborate and make Winpdb better.
