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. ##################################################################### GETTING STARTED Please see starting.rst usage.rst misc.rst and shells.rst in /usr/doc/pudb-$VERSION to get started, and also - Online docs: https://documen.tician.de/pudb/ A simple, but useful, illustrated example page: http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/pudb.html Github page: https://github.com/inducer/pudb
