Hello,
So I still use the IPython command line console a lot especially for
debugging purposes. I utilize the Tracer class to set physical break
points often but sometimes would like to do conditional breaks instead.
Additionally then I have the clutter of the extra import for debugging
purpose. So I tried calling the debugger from the command line in the
same way you would call the regular Python debugger
python -m IPython.core.debugger myscript.py
no dice. So I clone the dev branch from git hub and started messing
around. I managed to get something that works although it involves
monkey patching the IPython Pdb class into the Python pdb module.
However I get the desired result with my small test case.
So then the question becomes if I want to propose that this be added to
the IPython code what do I do? I looked around on the site and couldn't
find anything solid so I decided to post here.
Additionally keep up the good work. I haven't gotten to play with the
notebooks yet my environment at work is fairly restrictive but I hope to
soon.
