Can I let a thread run in the background while debugging?

[Noam]

Hello,

Is it possible to let some threads from winpdb run, while I'm
debugging another thread?

I would like to use RPyC to play with objects in the debugee, by using
a server running on another thread. However, winpdb/rpdb2 cathces all
actions in that thread. Is it possible to let it run freely?

Thanks,
Noam

No (unless you hack it - it is Free Software).
Like traditional C++ debuggers, Winpdb pauses all threads when you request to break into the debuggee.

But I guess, that another application you've launched with the program
to be debugged stays running until you kill it.
So wouldn't it be possible to move the thread you want to keep running
to a seperate program ?
Just and idea.

Most other Python debuggers only pause one thread at a time.
It took some effort to make them all pause correctly - including blocked threads.

You can try any other debugger, for example pdb.

Thanks, so I'll use pdb for that matter.
It's quite sad, however, because winpdb is really great! (I had to say
thanks sometime. Here's the opportunity.)

Thanks again,
Noam
