========
Overview
========

Adds functionality to the python debugger, including support for remote
debugging

Installation
============

::

pip install epdb

Usage
=====

For debugging code locally, epdb generally works the same as `pdb
`_. You can debug a program from
the python interpreter::

>>> import epdb
>>> import mymodule
>>> epdb.Epdb().run('mymodule.test()')
*** NameError: name 'execfile' is not defined
> /home/wasche/git/epdb/(1)()
-> """
(Epdb) continue
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/usr/lib64/python3.5/bdb.py", line 431, in run
exec(cmd, globals, locals)
File "", line 1, in
File "/home/wasche/git/epdb/mymodule.py", line 2, in test
import spam
ImportError: No module named 'spam'

You can also drop breakpoints at specific places in a program's code by
inserting::

import epdb; epdb.set_trace()

or by using the alias ``st``::

import epdb; epdb.st()

To debug code that is either running on a remote system, or in a process that
isn't attached to your tty you can use epdb in server mode::

import epdb; epdb.serve()

By default ``epdb.serve()`` will start a simple telnet server on port 8080, but
you can use the ``port`` keyword argument to use a different port::

import epdb; epdb.serve(port=8888)

You can connect to the epdb server by using ``epdb.connect()``::

>>> import epdb
>>> epdb.connect()

By default ``epdb.connect()`` will attempt to connect to port 8080 on
localhost. If you are debugging a process on another host or port, you can call
connect with the ``host`` or ``port`` keyword arguments::

>>> import epdb
>>> epdb.connect(host='some.host.com', port=8888)

Known Issues
============

* epdb.serve() does not work with python 2.7.5 [#7]
