The Python Debugger Pdb
=======================
To use the debugger in its simplest form:
>>> import pdb
>>> pdb.run('<a statement>')
The debugger's prompt is '(Pdb) '. This will stop in the first
function call in <a statement>.
Alternatively, if a statement terminated with an unhandled exception,
you can use pdb's post-mortem facility to inspect the contents of the
traceback:
>>> <a statement>
<exception traceback>
>>> import pdb
>>> pdb.pm()
The commands recognized by the debugger are listed in the next
section. Most can be abbreviated as indicated; e.g., h(elp) means
that 'help' can be typed as 'h' or 'help' (but not as 'he' or 'hel',
nor as 'H' or 'Help' or 'HELP'). Optional arguments are enclosed in
square brackets. Alternatives in the command syntax are separated
by a vertical bar (|).
A blank line repeats the previous command literally, except for
'list', where it lists the next 11 lines.
Commands that the debugger doesn't recognize are assumed to be Python
statements and are executed in the context of the program being
debugged. Python statements can also be prefixed with an exclamation
point ('!'). This is a powerful way to inspect the program being
debugged; it is even possible to change variables or call functions.
When an exception occurs in such a statement, the exception name is
printed but the debugger's state is not changed.
The debugger supports aliases, which can save typing. And aliases can
have parameters (see the alias help entry) which allows one a certain
level of adaptability to the context under examination.
Multiple commands may be entered on a single line, separated by the
pair ';;'. No intelligence is applied to separating the commands; the
input is split at the first ';;', even if it is in the middle of a
quoted string.
If a file ".pdbrc" exists in your home directory or in the current
directory, it is read in and executed as if it had been typed at the
debugger prompt. This is particularly useful for aliases. If both
files exist, the one in the home directory is read first and aliases
defined there can be overridden by the local file. This behavior can be
disabled by passing the "readrc=False" argument to the Pdb constructor.
Aside from aliases, the debugger is not directly programmable; but it
is implemented as a class from which you can derive your own debugger
class, which you can make as fancy as you like.
Debugger commands
=================
h(elp)
Without argument, print the list of available commands.
With a command name as argument, print help about that command.
"help pdb" shows the full pdb documentation.
"help exec" gives help on the ! command.
w(here)
Print a stack trace, with the most recent frame at the bottom.
An arrow indicates the "current frame", which determines the
context of most commands. 'bt' is an alias for this command.
d(own) [count]
Move the current frame count (default one) levels down in the
stack trace (to a newer frame).
u(p) [count]
Move the current frame count (default one) levels up in the
stack trace (to an older frame).
b(reak) [ ([filename:]lineno | function) [, condition] ]
Without argument, list all breaks.
With a line number argument, set a break at this line in the
current file. With a function name, set a break at the first
executable line of that function. If a second argument is
present, it is a string specifying an expression which must
evaluate to true before the breakpoint is honored.
The line number may be prefixed with a filename and a colon,
to specify a breakpoint in another file (probably one that
hasn't been loaded yet). The file is searched for on
sys.path; the .py suffix may be omitted.
tbreak [ ([filename:]lineno | function) [, condition] ]
Same arguments as break, but sets a temporary breakpoint: it
is automatically deleted when first hit.
cl(ear) filename:lineno
cl(ear) [bpnumber [bpnumber...]]
With a space separated list of breakpoint numbers, clear
those breakpoints. Without argument, clear all breaks (but
first ask confirmation). With a filename:lineno argument,
clear all breaks at that line in that file.
disable bpnumber [bpnumber ...]
Disables the breakpoints given as a space separated list of
breakpoint numbers. Disabling a breakpoint means it cannot
cause the program to stop execution, but unlike clearing a
breakpoint, it remains in the list of breakpoints and can be
(re-)enabled.
enable bpnumber [bpnumber ...]
Enables the breakpoints given as a space separated list of
breakpoint numbers.
ignore bpnumber [count]
Set the ignore count for the given breakpoint number. If
count is omitted, the ignore count is set to 0. A breakpoint
becomes active when the ignore count is zero. When non-zero,
the count is decremented each time the breakpoint is reached
and the breakpoint is not disabled and any associated
condition evaluates to true.
condition bpnumber [condition]
Set a new condition for the breakpoint, an expression which
must evaluate to true before the breakpoint is honored. If
condition is absent, any existing condition is removed; i.e.,
the breakpoint is made unconditional.
commands [bpnumber]
(com) ...
(com) end
(Pdb)
Specify a list of commands for breakpoint number bpnumber.
The commands themselves are entered on the following lines.
Type a line containing just 'end' to terminate the commands.
The commands are executed when the breakpoint is hit.
To remove all commands from a breakpoint, type commands and
follow it immediately with end; that is, give no commands.
With no bpnumber argument, commands refers to the last
breakpoint set.
You can use breakpoint commands to start your program up
again. Simply use the continue command, or step, or any other
command that resumes execution.
Specifying any command resuming execution (currently continue,
step, next, return, jump, quit and their abbreviations)
terminates the command list (as if that command was
immediately followed by end). This is because any time you
resume execution (even with a simple next or step), you may
encounter another breakpoint -- which could have its own
command list, leading to ambiguities about which list to
execute.
If you use the 'silent' command in the command list, the usual
message about stopping at a breakpoint is not printed. This
may be desirable for breakpoints that are to print a specific
message and then continue. If none of the other commands
print anything, you will see no sign that the breakpoint was
reached.
s(tep)
Execute the current line, stop at the first possible occasion
(either in a function that is called or in the current
function).
n(ext)
Continue execution until the next line in the current function
is reached or it returns.
unt(il) [lineno]
Without argument, continue execution until the line with a
number greater than the current one is reached. With a line
number, continue execution until a line with a number greater
or equal to that is reached. In both cases, also stop when
the current frame returns.
j(ump) lineno
Set the next line that will be executed. Only available in
the bottom-most frame. This lets you jump back and execute
code again, or jump forward to skip code that you don't want
to run.
It should be noted that not all jumps are allowed -- for
instance it is not possible to jump into the middle of a
for loop or out of a finally clause.
r(eturn)
Continue execution until the current function returns.
retval
Print the return value for the last return of a function.
run [args...]
Restart the debugged python program. If a string is supplied
it is split with "shlex", and the result is used as the new
sys.argv. History, breakpoints, actions and debugger options
are preserved. "restart" is an alias for "run".
c(ont(inue))
Continue execution, only stop when a breakpoint is encountered.
l(ist) [first [,last] | .]
List source code for the current file. Without arguments,
list 11 lines around the current line or continue the previous
listing. With . as argument, list 11 lines around the current
line. With one argument, list 11 lines starting at that line.
With two arguments, list the given range; if the second
argument is less than the first, it is a count.
The current line in the current frame is indicated by "->".
If an exception is being debugged, the line where the
exception was originally raised or propagated is indicated by
">>", if it differs from the current line.
longlist | ll
List the whole source code for the current function or frame.
a(rgs)
Print the argument list of the current function.
p expression
Print the value of the expression.
pp expression
Pretty-print the value of the expression.
whatis arg
Print the type of the argument.
source expression
Try to get source code for the given object and display it.
display [expression]
Display the value of the expression if it changed, each time execution
stops in the current frame.
Without expression, list all display expressions for the current frame.
undisplay [expression]
Do not display the expression any more in the current frame.
Without expression, clear all display expressions for the current frame.
interact
Start an interactive interpreter whose global namespace
contains all the (global and local) names found in the current scope.
alias [name [command [parameter parameter ...] ]]
Create an alias called 'name' that executes 'command'. The
command must *not* be enclosed in quotes. Replaceable
parameters can be indicated by %1, %2, and so on, while %* is
replaced by all the parameters. If no command is given, the
current alias for name is shown. If no name is given, all
aliases are listed.
Aliases may be nested and can contain anything that can be
legally typed at the pdb prompt. Note! You *can* override
internal pdb commands with aliases! Those internal commands
are then hidden until the alias is removed. Aliasing is
recursively applied to the first word of the command line; all
other words in the line are left alone.
As an example, here are two useful aliases (especially when
placed in the .pdbrc file):
# Print instance variables (usage "pi classInst")
alias pi for k in %1.__dict__.keys(): print("%1.",k,"=",%1.__dict__[k])
# Print instance variables in self
alias ps pi self
unalias name
Delete the specified alias.
debug code
Enter a recursive debugger that steps through the code
argument (which is an arbitrary expression or statement to be
executed in the current environment).
q(uit)
exit
Quit from the debugger. The program being executed is aborted.
(!) statement
Execute the (one-line) statement in the context of the current
stack frame. The exclamation point can be omitted unless the
first word of the statement resembles a debugger command. To
assign to a global variable you must always prefix the command
with a 'global' command, e.g.:
(Pdb) global list_options; list_options = ['-l']
(Pdb)

Return True if there is an effective breakpoint for this line.
Check for line or function breakpoint and if in effect.
Delete temporary breakpoints if effective() says to.
canonic(self, filename)
Return canonical form of filename.
For real filenames, the canonical form is a case-normalized (on
case insensitive filesystems) absolute path. 'Filenames' with
angle brackets, such as "<stdin>", generated in interactive
mode, are returned unchanged.
checkline(self, filename, lineno)
Check whether specified line seems to be executable.
Return `lineno` if it is, 0 if not (e.g. a docstring, comment, blank
line or EOF). Warning: testing is not comprehensive.

off the received input, and dispatch to action methods, passing them
the remainder of the line as argument.
columnize(self, list, displaywidth=80)
Display a list of strings as a compact set of columns.
Each column is only as wide as necessary.
Columns are separated by two spaces (one was not legible enough).

If no breakpoints are set, return an empty list.
get_names(self)
get_stack(self, f, t)
Return a list of (frame, lineno) in a stack trace and a size.
List starts with original calling frame, if there is one.
Size may be number of frames above or below f.
handle_command_def(self, line) Handles one command line during command list definition.
help_exec(self)
(!) statement
Execute the (one-line) statement in the context of the current
stack frame. The exclamation point can be omitted unless the
first word of the statement resembles a debugger command. To
assign to a global variable you must always prefix the command
with a 'global' command, e.g.:
(Pdb) global list_options; list_options = ['-l']
(Pdb)
help_pdb(self)
interaction(self, frame, traceback)
is_skipped_module(self, module_name) Return True if module_name matches any skip pattern.
lineinfo(self, identifier)
lookupmodule(self, filename)
Helper function for break/clear parsing -- may be overridden.
lookupmodule() translates (possibly incomplete) file or module name
into an absolute file name.
message(self, msg)
onecmd(self, line)
Interpret the argument as though it had been typed in response
to the prompt.
Checks whether this line is typed at the normal prompt or in
a breakpoint command list definition.
parseline(self, line)
Parse the line into a command name and a string containing
the arguments. Returns a tuple containing (command, args, line).
'command' and 'args' may be None if the line couldn't be parsed.
postcmd(self, stop, line) Hook method executed just after a command dispatch is finished.
postloop(self)
Hook method executed once when the cmdloop() method is about to
return.
precmd(self, line) Handle alias expansion and ';;' separator.
preloop(self)
print_stack_entry(self, frame_lineno, prompt_prefix='\n-> ')
print_stack_trace(self)
print_topics(self, header, cmds, cmdlen, maxcol)
reset(self)
run(self, cmd, globals=None, locals=None)
Debug a statement executed via the exec() function.
globals defaults to __main__.dict; locals defaults to globals.
runcall(self, func, /, *args, **kwds)
Debug a single function call.
Return the result of the function call.
runctx(self, cmd, globals, locals) For backwards-compatibility. Defers to run().
runeval(self, expr, globals=None, locals=None)
Debug an expression executed via the eval() function.
globals defaults to __main__.dict; locals defaults to globals.
set_break(self, filename, lineno, temporary=False, cond=None, funcname=None)
Set a new breakpoint for filename:lineno.
If lineno doesn't exist for the filename, return an error message.
The filename should be in canonical form.
set_continue(self)
Stop only at breakpoints or when finished.
If there are no breakpoints, set the system trace function to None.
set_next(self, frame) Stop on the next line in or below the given frame.
set_quit(self)
Set quitting attribute to True.
Raises BdbQuit exception in the next call to a dispatch_*() method.
set_return(self, frame) Stop when returning from the given frame.
set_step(self) Stop after one line of code.
set_trace(self, frame=None)
Start debugging from frame.
If frame is not specified, debugging starts from caller's frame.
set_until(self, frame, lineno=None)
Stop when the line with the lineno greater than the current one is
reached or when returning from current frame.
setup(self, f, tb)
sigint_handler(self, signum, frame)
stop_here(self, frame) Return True if frame is below the starting frame in the stack.
trace_dispatch(self, frame, event, arg)
Dispatch a trace function for debugged frames based on the event.
This function is installed as the trace function for debugged
frames. Its return value is the new trace function, which is
usually itself. The default implementation decides how to
dispatch a frame, depending on the type of event (passed in as a
string) that is about to be executed.
The event can be one of the following:
line: A new line of code is going to be executed.
call: A function is about to be called or another code block
is entered.
return: A function or other code block is about to return.
exception: An exception has occurred.
c_call: A C function is about to be called.
c_return: A C function has returned.
c_exception: A C function has raised an exception.
For the Python events, specialized functions (see the dispatch_*()
methods) are called. For the C events, no action is taken.
The arg parameter depends on the previous event.
user_call(self, frame, argument_list)
This method is called when there is the remote possibility
that we ever need to stop in this function.
user_exception(self, frame, exc_info)
This function is called if an exception occurs,
but only if we are to stop at or just below this level.
user_line(self, frame) This function is called when we stop or break at this line.
user_return(self, frame, return_value) This function is called when a return trap is set here.
