debugger on system with Python 2 and 3
Yo Sato
I am a relative newcomer to the Python language, and only write Python
3. Now I would very much like to a more-than-basic debugger. However
it seems as if the fact that I have both Python 2 and 3 on the system
complicates the matter...
First I tried to use something called pydb, but it seems to invoke
python 2, and I don't know quite how to (or whether I can) configure
it for Python 3.
Secondly I installed something called IDLE3, which complains that TK
is not configured for Python 3.
I don't want to remove or default to Python 2, as there seem to be a
number of programs that rely on it.
I wonder how best to avoid my problems. Would perhaps somebody in the
same sort of situation share their wisdom??

You haven't told OS which OS you're using, and what are your exact
problems, BTW I think two good debuggers for Python are winpdb/rpdb2
(work on any platform, despite the name) and the one you get in
Eclipse+Pydev.
You should be able to pick your platform, even though I've never tested
them in Python 3.

eric4 snapshot releases support Python3.

I am using Fedora Core 11. I wanted to use emacs, rather than the
full-blown IDE or entirely gui-based debugger, and that's why I was
drawn to pydb in the first instance.
If there's no other choice I don't mind using winpdb, but it is
installed (through Yum) under Python2 library and invokes Py2 at
default... Don't quite know how to adapt it to Py3 or install the
right version under the right directory, yet. It seems as if some
environmental variable change is necessary. On the whole it doesn't
seem that there's much support in the third-party debuggers in general
as yet...
In the meantime I might ask if it is possible to adapt pydb (or
perhaps, IDLE) for Py3. Might be just a change in a env variable or
two...

And once you start a debugging session with rpdb2 (running with Python
3.x)
you can attach to it from a winpdb instance (running with Python 2.x)
