[wxPython] wxPython debugging with Komodo

wxPython Users
1

I’ve been unable to debug wxPython code in Komodo. If I attempt to start my app from the debugger, the application fails to appear. The application doesn’t exit; it just goes into app.MainLoop and stays in there, but the window doesn’t appear.

I am able to put a breakpoint in MyApp.OnInit, and the breakpoint is hit, but when I “Go”, my application doesn’t become visible.

When I run the application outside of Komodo, it works fine. Here’s the source:

hello.py

from wxPython.wx import *

class MyApp(wxApp):
def OnInit(self):
frame = wxFrame(NULL, -1, “Hello from wxPython”)
frame.Show(true)
self.SetTopWindow(frame)
return true

app = MyApp(0)
app.MainLoop()

Komodo 1.1.2 build 23917

Python 2.1, wxPython 2.2, Windoze (Mediocrity Edition)

Ken,

We are aware of this bug and are looking into it. In the mean time, you
can work around the issue by selecting "Debug in separate console" in the
Debugging Options dialog.

You can monitor our progress on the issue here:

maybe this will help you

some Python tools do an import of the module an dont’t want to start the program at once (like the ddd-Debugger)

if name==‘main’:
app = MyApp(0)
app.MainLoop()

Apparently, debug in separate console is disabled on Win9x.

    Any workarounds for debugging wxPython in Komodo on Win98?
    
    Y.
