Re: [Python-Dev] an alternative suggestion, Re: pdb: should next command be extended?

So, would implementing gdb's "until" command instead of "next N" be a better idea? In its simplest form (without arguments) "until" advances to the next (textually) source line... This would solve the original problem of getting over list comprehensions...

I like that idea.

There is a bit of a problem with abbreviation of "until": gdb abbreviates it as "u", while in pdb "u" means "up"...It might be a good idea to have the same abbreviations

Indeed. I don't know much about pdb internals, but I think "u" should become unbound, and "up" and "unt" should become the shortest abbreviations. Regards, Martin
