Important
This documentation covers IPython versions 6.0 and higher. Beginning with version 6.0, IPython stopped supporting compatibility with Python versions lower than 3.3 including all versions of Python 2.7.
If you are looking for an IPython version compatible with Python 2.7, please use the IPython 5.x LTS release and refer to its documentation (LTS is the long term support release).
Module:core.debugger
Pdb debugger class.
This is an extension to PDB which adds a number of new features. Note that there is also the IPython.terminal.debugger
class which provides UI improvements.
We also strongly recommend to use this via the ipdb
package, which provides extra configuration options.
supports many IPython magics like pdef/psource
hide frames in tracebacks based on __tracebackhide__
allows to skip frames based on __debuggerskip__
The IPython debugger will by read the global ~/.pdbrc
file. That is to say you can list all commands supported by ipdb in your ~/.pdbrc
configuration file, to globally configure pdb.
Example:
# ~/.pdbrc skip_predicates debuggerskip false skip_hidden false context 25Features
The IPython debugger can hide and skip frames when printing or moving through the stack. This can have a performance impact, so can be configures.
The skipping and hiding frames are configurable via the skip_predicates
command.
By default, frames from readonly files will be hidden, frames containing __tracebackhide__ = True
will be hidden.
Frames containing __debuggerskip__
will be stepped over, frames whose parent frames value of __debuggerskip__
is True
will also be skipped.
>>> def helpers_helper(): ... pass ... ... def helper_1(): ... print("don't step in me") ... helpers_helpers() # will be stepped over unless breakpoint set. ... ... ... def helper_2(): ... print("in me neither") ...
One can define a decorator that wraps a function between the two helpers:
>>> def pdb_skipped_decorator(function): ... ... ... def wrapped_fn(*args, **kwargs): ... __debuggerskip__ = True ... helper_1() ... __debuggerskip__ = False ... result = function(*args, **kwargs) ... __debuggerskip__ = True ... helper_2() ... # setting __debuggerskip__ to False again is not necessary ... return result ... ... return wrapped_fn
When decorating a function, ipdb will directly step into bar()
by default:
>>> @foo_decorator ... def bar(x, y): ... return x * y
You can toggle the behavior with
ipdb> skip_predicates debuggerskip false
or configure it in your .pdbrc
Modified from the standard pdb.Pdb class to avoid including readline, so that the command line completion of other programs which include this isn’t damaged.
In the future, this class will be expanded with improvements over the standard pdb.
The original code in this file is mainly lifted out of cmd.py in Python 2.2, with minor changes. Licensing should therefore be under the standard Python terms. For details on the PSF (Python Software Foundation) standard license, see:
https://docs.python.org/2/license.html
All the changes since then are under the same license as IPython.

for a standalone version that uses prompt_toolkit, see IPython.terminal.debugger.TerminalPdb
and IPython.terminal.debugger.set_trace()
This debugger can hide and skip frames that are tagged according to some predicates. See the skip_predicates
commands.

completekey (default None) – Passed to pdb.Pdb.
stdin (default None) – Passed to pdb.Pdb.
stdout (default None) – Passed to pdb.Pdb.
context (int) – Number of lines of source code context to show when displaying stacktrace information.
**kwargs – Passed to pdb.Pdb.
Notes
The possibilities are python version dependent, see the python docs for more info.
_stop_in_decorator_internals is overly restrictive, as we may still want to trace function calls, so we need to also update break_anywhere so that is we don’t stop_here
, because of debugger skip, we may still stop at any point inside the function
context number_of_lines Set the number of lines of source code to show when displaying stacktrace information.
d(own) [count] Move the current frame count (default one) levels down in the stack trace (to a newer frame).
Will skip hidden frames.
debug code Enter a recursive debugger that steps through the code argument (which is an arbitrary expression or statement to be executed in the current environment).
d(own) [count] Move the current frame count (default one) levels down in the stack trace (to a newer frame).
Will skip hidden frames.
exceptions [number] List or change current exception in an exception chain. Without arguments, list all the current exception in the exception chain. Exceptions will be numbered, with the current exception indicated with an arrow. If given an integer as argument, switch to the exception at that index.
Print lines of code from the current stack frame

Print the call signature for any callable object.
The debugger interface to %pdef
Print the docstring for an object.
The debugger interface to %pdoc.
Print (or run through pager) the file where an object is defined.
The debugger interface to %pfile.
Provide detailed information about an object.
The debugger interface to %pinfo, i.e., obj?.
Provide extra detailed information about an object.
The debugger interface to %pinfo2, i.e., obj??.
Print (or run through pager) the source code for an object.
q(uit) exit Quit from the debugger. The program being executed is aborted.

Change whether or not we should skip frames with the __tracebackhide__ attribute.
Turn on/off individual predicates as to whether a frame should be hidden/skip.
The global option to skip (or not) hidden frames is set with skip_hidden
To change the value of a predicate
skip_predicates key [true|false]
Call without arguments to see the current values.
To permanently change the value of an option add the corresponding command to your ~/.pdbrc
file. If you are programmatically using the Pdb instance you can also change the default_predicates
class attribute.
u(p) [count] Move the current frame count (default one) levels up in the stack trace (to an older frame).
Will skip hidden frames.

w(here) Print a stack trace, with the most recent frame at the bottom. An arrow indicates the “current frame”, which determines the context of most commands. ‘bt’ is an alias for this command.
Take a number as argument as an (optional) number of context line to print

Given an index in the stack return whether it should be skipped.
This is used in up/down and where to skip frames.
Perform useful escapes on the command before it is executed.

Start debugging from frame.
If frame is not specified, debugging starts from caller’s frame.
Return True if frame is below the starting frame in the stack.

Version of debugger where KeyboardInterrupt exits the debugger altogether.
Wrap cmdloop() such that KeyboardInterrupt stops the debugger.

exceptions.
All other exceptions are processed using the excepthook
parameter.
Make new_fn have old_fn’s doc string. This is particularly useful for the do_...
commands that hook into the help system. Adapted from from a comp.lang.python posting by Duncan Booth.
