Python trepan

trepan (formerly pydbgr, and before that pydb) is an extension of the python pdb module that introduces some features from gdb.

Generally I like trepan far more than pdb/ipdb except that I miss autocompletion.

Install

## install
sudo pip2 install trepan
 
## ipython-compatibility install
cd $HOME/.ipython/profile_default/startup
wget https://raw.github.com/rocky/ipython-trepan/master/trepanmagic.py

Usage

IPython

%trepan run test.py							## trepan in ipython

Terminal

trepan2 test.py
trepan2 --trace -- test.py 'a' 'b'		## Separate trepan options from pythonScript options
													## using '--' (like xorg)

Run Inside Script

from trepan.api import debug
debug()
