@ -6,3 +6,14 @@ To have much joy debugging python extensions you need to:
Then you'll start to see your exceptions on the console instead of them getting
lost at the UNO interface.
Python also comes with a gdb script
libpython$(PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR).$(PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR)m.so-gdb.py
that is copied to instdir and will be auto-loaded by gdb;
it provides commands like "py-bt" to get a python-level backtrace,
and "py-print" to print python variables.
Another way to debug python code is to use pdb: edit some initalization
function to to insert "import pdb; pdb.set_trace()" (somewhere so that it is
executed early), then run soffice from a terminal and a command-line python
debugger will appear where you can set python-level breakpoints.
