How to remotely debug long python scripts or services?

Question

Pretty much what the title says, I would like to be able to connect to a python process running under pasteur or uwsgi and use the pdb functions.

Answer 1

Using winpdb , you can connect to the current process, like this:

• Embed

  import rpdb2; rpdb2.start_embedded_debugger('mypassword') 

  inside the script.

• Run the script (via pasteur or uwsgi) as usual.
• Run winpdb
• Click File> Attach
• Enter the password (for example, "mypassword"), select the process.
• To disconnect, click File> Disconnect. The script will continue to work and can be attached to it later.
