Introduction

To make a long story short: sometimes you need to break into the debugger in the middle of a Script (Python). To prevent the frustrating Unauthorized: import of 'pdb' is unauthorized message, use this enablesettrace package.

This package supports importing the pdb and ipdb module. It is a fork of the Products.enablesettrace package.

Installation

The installation is as simple as making sure the package is located on the Python path. For example when you are using zc.buildout list Products.Ienablesettrace in the eggs section:

[buildout]
...
eggs =
    ...
    Products.Ienablesettrace

Credits

This code was originally contributed by Zach Bir and committed by Jim Fulton. Mark van Lent eggified the product.
