Winpdb

Last updated

Winpdb is a remote Python debugger originally created by Nir Aides in 2005. [1] It has been maintained by Philippe Fremy since March 30, 2018 as a fork called Winpdb-reborn licensed under GNU GPLv2+. The project is currently stopped. [2] [3]

Description

According to the archived Winpdb website, "Winpdb is a platform independent GPL Python debugger with support for multiple threads, namespace modification, embedded debugging, encrypted communication and is up to 20 times faster than pdb." [1] [3]

The only dependency needed is wxPython for the GUI as Winpdb acts as a front end to the text-based RPDB2. Winpdb can run on Linux, Windows, and MacOS. [4]
