Comments on: Launch Time

When I try to do remote debugging, I get no connection. I start the script on an internal web server, so the necessary ports should be open, and the script waits at the position where I import rpdb2 and start the debugger with a hardcoded password.
But when I enter the hosts IP-adress in my local Winpdb-GUI, no script shows up although the right password was set.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for help.

yes, look at the timeout argument

Is there a way to launch rpdb2 allowing remote connections, but have it start the script without waiting for a debugger console to attach and say ‘go’?

Did anyone managed to attach to local process from console?

I am under windows trying this scenario:
c:/temp/test.py contains:
import rpdb2; rpdb2.start_embedded_debugger(”123″)
I run it by double-clicking.
A can attach manually thru gui. But can’t get command line working:
winpdb –attach=test.py –pwd=123 –host=127.0.0.1

All I receive in return is help message…

Thank you!

I created a batch file, so I just type “debug” and it launches winpdb with my app loaded. I find the process of repeatedly navigating through directories to attach to the source code for MY app to be annoying, and this allows me to skip it.

DKW, you are correct that the instructions could be clearer for Windows users. However it is such a nuisance typing the path to the scripts folder that I guess most Windows users start Winpdb from the Start menu.

I agree with “rak” that these instructions could be clearer how to start up on platforms other than Linux.

On Windows, the following works for me:

python “(path to your Python directory)\Scripts\winpdb_.pyw” arg1 arg2 arg3 …

(The quotes are necessary for me because I have a space in my python path.)

It is cross platform. What platform are you using?

I thought this thing was cross-platform. Where are the instructions for other platforms?

Prevent the debugger from trying to start a new terminal with the -d command line flag.

The -d command line flag makes the debugger start as a server (debugged script) and wait for clients to attach (debugger consoles).

If you do not use the -d flag the debugger starts a client (debugger console) and tries to launch a server (debugged script process) and attach.

If you want to allow connections from remote machines add the -r command line flag.
