I can’t believe I’ve been using Python for so long and didn’t know about this package — thanks, it’s fantastic!

I’ve successfully used the program with 32-bit Python 2.6 on my Windows 7 64-bit machine, but I’ve run into little quirk and I wonder if it’s something I’m doing wrong.

When I “restart”, I get the following message in the rpdb2 window:
“This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application’s support team for more information.” (Also, Windows throws the following exception in a dialogue box with the title python.exe”: “python.exe has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.”); HOWEVER, the most recently opened rpdb2 window will be fine, and I can just close the old window and carry on.

I am a total newbie to Python, just trying to get up to speed for a project we are doing at work….

Two days after downloading it, winpdb is already indispensible.
(Because it took 1 1/2 days for me to RTFM and figure out how to attach to my pitiful, lame attempt at a program.)

Damn! Great tool!

In fact I’ve just confirmed the .EXE installer for WinPDB works on the 32-bit version of Python 2.6.4 on Windows 7 x64. It’s very likely that Paul encountered the distutils bug in Python 2.6.x, not any problem in your .EXE distribution.

YMMV.

@Paul

There’s an outstanding problem with Python 2.6.x on 64-bit editions of Windows, in that it is unable to determine that current Python installation using the registry. Please see the following for more info: http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue2. This means easy_install, and in fact distutils, is broken on 64 bit Windows w/ Python 2.6.

I’m using Windows 7 x64 and this was sufficient reason for me to abandon the 64 bit version of Python 2.6 for now.

hmm… it was built with python 2.5 so this is probably the source of the problem.
I think I will stop distributing the exe installer.
Try the source archive. Installation from source is simple enough.

Hello, downloaded the winpdb.exe file, and when trying to install it says:
“No Python Installation found in the registry”
which I don’t understand, because I do have python 2.6.2 installed on my PC(running windows XP 64 bit.) Any idea please?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I am running Mac OS X with Python 2.5.1, I need to keep this version because another library is needs this particular version.

Is there a chance you can make the version that works on this platform available?

I saw that Matthew Fitzgibbons created a version and put it in ‘Resource Fork’ I assume that was before the move to googlecode for hosting…

Could you please add that old version from SF to GoogleCode? When I go onto the SF site it redirects to this one!

Thanks
