Mixed Python/C debugging
by Skip Montanaro 26 Apr '23

26 Apr '23

Having tried comp.lang.python with no response, I turn here... After at least ten years away from Python's run-time interpreter & byte code compiler, I'm getting set to familiarize myself with that again. This will, I think, entail debugging a mixed Python/C environment. I'm an Emacs user and am aware that GDB since 7.0 has support for debugging at the Python code level. Is Emacs+GDB my best bet? Are there any Python IDEs which support C-level breakpoints and debugging? Thanks, Skip

Small lament...
by Skip Montanaro 04 Apr '23

04 Apr '23

Just wanted to throw this out there... I lament the loss of waking up on April 1st to see a creative April Fool's Day joke on one or both of these lists, often from our FLUFL... Maybe such frivolity still happens, just not in the Python ecosystem? I know you can still import "this" or "antigravity", but those are now old (both introduced before 2010). When was the last time a clever easter egg was introduced or an April Fool's Day joke played? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Skip
