Module pydevrdc

source code

Support for the automation of cross-process remote debugging with PyDev and Eclipse.

The module provides helpers for the debugging with the PyDev in the Eclipse IDE. This includes utilities for the cross-process debugging by Remote-Debugging. The PyDevRDC module provides processes started outside the PyDev environment, as well as processes under control of PyDev.

In case the module epyunit.debug.checkRDbg is not yet loaded, this is done and the provided parameters are passed through to the initial call:

epyunit.debug.checkRDbg.checkAndRemoveRDbgOptions()

See 'http://pydev.org/manual_adv_remote_debugger.html'

The following parameters modify the control flow:

• Module Variables:

  • epyunit.debug.pydevrdc.PYDEVD:

    Provides a pre-allocated controller object for remote debugging by PyDev as Eclipse plugin. Could be extended by custom instances as required. Just requires a simple import statement and could thereafter be controlled by parameters.

• Environment Variables:

  • PYDEVDSCAN:

    The start directory for search on 'pydevd.py'. If not set, the default is:

    px = $HOME/eclipse/eclipse
    px = os.path.abspath(px)
    px = os.path.realname(px)
    px = os.path.dirname(px)
    px = os.path.normpath(px)
