I still prefer zdb, because you can actually see and step through the script code. http://www.simplistix.co.uk/software/zope/zdb
Do you mean you can put this in a .cpy file:
If you go back in the thread, you'll see I explicitly stated that .cpy's are not covered because they choose to do their own silly thing.
from Products.zdb import set_trace set_trace()
and then you can see the script code in the debugger?
For normal python skin scripts, yes :-)
When I try that I end up in the debugger, but I don't see anything different from the normal pdb.set_trace(). When I press 'l' I just see [EOF] like always. Is there a trick I am missing?
Yeah, don't use .cpy's ;-)
It *would* be neat! :)
It would indeed, it'd just require more monkeypatching of the same style that zdb does already. Reading zdb's code, particular the bits that cover skin .py's should give you a good start. I'd happilly accept patches to zdb and am keen to roll a new release if someone does provide such a patch.
Those security declarations are actually the only thing that svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/Products.enablesettrace itself does.
