IPython debugger

[C++buntu]

Hi everyone,

I want to use the ipython debugger for a little program just to see how it goes, when i try the following line:



In [1]: run -d ball_table.py
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)

/home/steeve/Python/Source/basic/<ipython console> in <module>()

/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/IPython/iplib.pyc in ipmagic(self, arg_s)
951 else:
952 magic_args = self.var_expand(magic_args,1)
--> 953 return fn(magic_args)
954
955 def ipalias(self,arg_s):

/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/IPython/Magic.pyc in magic_run(self, parameter_s, runner)
1613 maxtries = 10
1614 bp = int(opts.get('b',[1])[0])
-> 1615 checkline = deb.checkline(filename,bp)
1616 if not checkline:
1617 for bp in range(bp+1,bp+maxtries+1):

/usr/lib/python2.6/pdb.pyc in checkline(self, filename, lineno)
450 line or EOF). Warning: testing is not comprehensive.
451 """
--> 452 line = linecache.getline(filename, lineno, self.curframe.f_globals)
453 if not line:
454 print >>self.stdout, 'End of file'

AttributeError: Pdb instance has no attribute 'curframe'


What is wrong? Any ideas?

Thanks

I don't know what exactly is wrong, but clearly ipython doesn't work with the default pdb. This works for me:

sudo apt-get install pydb
ipython -pydb

run -d script

BTW, I didn't even know about this debugger, I was using python -mpdb script. This looks better, thanks.
