PuDB is a full-screen, console-based visual debugger for Python.
Its goal is to provide all the niceties of modern GUI-based debuggers
in a more lightweight and keyboard-friendly package. PuDB allows you
to debug code right where you write and test it--in a terminal. If
you've worked with the excellent (but nowadays ancient) DOS-based
Turbo Pascal or C tools, PuDB's UI might look familiar.
By default this SlackBuild builds the python2 debugger, and if
python3 is detected, the python3 version too. The Pygments SlackBuild
will automatically install for python3 too.
NOTE: The python3 application is named pudb3. NOTE: You need
python3-urwid and python3-Pygments installed to use pudb3.
OPTIONS
To *ONLY* build the python2 version, use:
NO_PYTHON3=yes ./pudb.SlackBuild
To *ONLY* build the python3 version, use:
NO_PYTHON2=yes ./pudb.SlackBuild
The python2 version requires a newer version of urwid than the stock
Slackware one, therefore this also builds a custom urwid named
py2_urwid, which it can use. This should not conflict with the stock
Slackware version.
OPTIONAL DEPENDENCIES
To use pudb3:
python3-Pygments
python3-urwid
It will build without these so they can be installed later if needed.
