Description

Bugjar ====== Bugjar is part of the `BeeWare suite`_. The project website is `http://pybee.org/bugjar`_. Anyone who learned to code in the mid to late 80s probably spent some time with a Borland compiler -- probably either Turbo Pascal or Turbo C. One of the best features of the Turbo compilers was their IDE -- and in particular, a really good visual debugger that would let you inspect code while it was running. Then we all moved to Unix, and somehow forgot what a good debugger was. GDB is perfectly functional, but isn't very intuitive. GDB gives you perfect control over the execution of your code, but bad contextual information to let you know what control you should be exercising. Then came Python. Python's execution model contains excellent debugging hooks, and supplies PDB as a proof of concept. PDB is an interface that shares many similarities with GDB -- text mode, fantastic control, but very bad contextual information. So - enter ``bugjar``. A graphical interface for debugging code. PDB, but with the context to help you step through code in a meaningful way. .. _BeeWare suite: http://pybee.org/ .. _http://pybee.org/bugjar: http://pybee.org/bugjar
