| UNO bindings for the Python programming language. |
| |
| To have much joy debugging python extensions you need to: |
| a) edit pythonloader.py in your install setting DEBUG=1 at the top |
| b) touch pyuno/source/module/pyuno_runtime.cxx and 'make debug=true' in pyuno |
| |
| 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.1.0-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 initialization |
| function 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. |
