Debug功能对于developer是非常重要的,python提供了相应的模块pdb让你可以在用文本编辑器写脚本的情况下进行debug. pdb是python debugger的简称。

常用的一些命令如下:

开始介绍如何使用pdb。

使用的测试代码1: epdb1.py
import pdb
 a = "aaa"
 pdb.set_trace()
 b = "bbb"
 c = "ccc"
 final = a + b + c
 print final
 关于set_trace()
 pdb.set_trace()¶


Enter the debugger at the calling stack frame. This is useful to hard-code abreakpoint at a given point in a program, even if the code is not otherwisebeing debugged (e.g. when an assertion fails). 
  1 开始调试: 
[root@rcc-pok-idg-2255 ~]#  python epdb1.py
 > /root/epdb1.py(4)?()
 -> b = "bbb"
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb1.py(5)?()
 -> c = "ccc"
 (Pdb)
 > /root/epdb1.py(6)?()
 -> final = a + b + c
 (Pdb) list
   1     import pdb
   2     a = "aaa"
   3     pdb.set_trace()
   4     b = "bbb"
   5     c = "ccc"
   6  -> final = a + b + c
   7     print final
 [EOF]
 (Pdb)
 [EOF]
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb1.py(7)?()
 -> print final
 (Pdb)1. 使用n+enter表示执行当前的statement,在第一次按下了n+enter之后可以直接按enter表示重复执行上一条debug命令。
If you press ENTER without entering anything, pdb will re-execute the last command that you gave it.
1. quit或者q可以退出当前的debug,但是quit会以一种非常粗鲁的方式退出程序,直接crash
[root@rcc-pok-idg-2255 ~]#  python epdb1.py
 > /root/epdb1.py(4)?()
 -> b = "bbb"
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb1.py(5)?()
 -> c = "ccc"
 (Pdb) q
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "epdb1.py", line 5, in ?
     c = "ccc"
   File "epdb1.py", line 5, in ?
     c = "ccc"
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/bdb.py", line 48, in trace_dispatch
     return self.dispatch_line(frame)
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/bdb.py", line 67, in dispatch_line
     if self.quitting: raise BdbQuit
 bdb.BdbQuit
• 在使用过程中打印变量的值,可以直接使用p加上变量名,但是需要注意的是打印仅仅在当前的statement已经被执行了之后才能看到具体的值,否则会报 NameError: <exceptions.NameError 。。> 错误。
[root@rcc-pok-idg-2255 ~]#  python epdb1.py
 > /root/epdb1.py(4)?()
 -> b = "bbb"
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb1.py(5)?()
 -> c = "ccc"
 (Pdb) p b
 'bbb'
 (Pdb)
 'bbb'
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb1.py(6)?()
 -> final = a + b + c
 (Pdb) p c
 'ccc'
 (Pdb) p final
 *** NameError: <exceptions.NameError instance at 0x1551b710>
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb1.py(7)?()
 -> print final
 (Pdb) p final
 'aaabbbccc'
 (Pdb)

 使用c可以停止当前的debug使得程序继续执行。如果在下面的程序中继续有set_statement()的申明,则又会重新进入到debug的状态。
 [root@rcc-pok-idg-2255 ~]#  python epdb1.py
 > /root/epdb1.py(4)?()
 -> b = "bbb"
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb1.py(5)?()
 -> c = "ccc"
 (Pdb) c
 aaabbbccc

 可以在代码print final之前再加上set_trace()验证。• 如果代码过程,在debug的时候不一定能记住当前的代码快,则可以通过使用list或者l命令在显示。list会用箭头->指向当前debug的语句
[root@rcc-pok-idg-2255 ~]#  python epdb1.py
 > /root/epdb1.py(4)?()
 -> b = "bbb"
 (Pdb) list
   1     import pdb
   2     a = "aaa"
   3     pdb.set_trace()
   4  -> b = "bbb"
   5     c = "ccc"
   6     final = a + b + c
   7     pdb.set_trace()
   8     print final
 [EOF]
 (Pdb) c
 > /root/epdb1.py(8)?()
 -> print final
 (Pdb) list
   3     pdb.set_trace()
   4     b = "bbb"
   5     c = "ccc"
   6     final = a + b + c
   7     pdb.set_trace()
   8  -> print final
 [EOF]
 (Pdb)对于使用函数的情况下进行debug:
 
epdb2.py --import pdb

def combine(s1,s2):      # define subroutine combine, which...
    s3 = s1 + s2 + s1    # sandwiches s2 between copies of s1, ...
    s3 = '"' + s3 +'"'   # encloses it in double quotes,...
    return s3            # and returns it.

a = "aaa"
pdb.set_trace()
b = "bbb"
c = "ccc"
final = combine(a,b)
print final


如果直接使用n进行debug则到final=combine这句的时候会将其当做普通的赋值语句处理,进入到print final。如果想要对函数进行debug如何处理?可以直接使用s进入函数块。

[root@rcc-pok-idg-2255 ~]# python epdb2.py
 > /root/epdb2.py(10)?()
 -> b = "bbb"
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb2.py(11)?()
 -> c = "ccc"
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb2.py(12)?()
 -> final = combine(a,b)
 (Pdb) s
 --Call--
 > /root/epdb2.py(3)combine()
 -> def combine(s1,s2):      # define subroutine combine, which...
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb2.py(4)combine()
 -> s3 = s1 + s2 + s1    # sandwiches s2 between copies of s1, ...
 (Pdb) list
   1     import pdb
   2
   3     def combine(s1,s2):      # define subroutine combine, which...
   4  ->     s3 = s1 + s2 + s1    # sandwiches s2 between copies of s1, ...
   5         s3 = '"' + s3 +'"'   # encloses it in double quotes,...
   6         return s3            # and returns it.
   7
   8     a = "aaa"
   9     pdb.set_trace()
  10     b = "bbb"
  11     c = "ccc"
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb2.py(5)combine()
 -> s3 = '"' + s3 +'"'   # encloses it in double quotes,...
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb2.py(6)combine()
 -> return s3            # and returns it.
 (Pdb) n
 --Return--
 > /root/epdb2.py(6)combine()->'"aaabbbaaa"'
 -> return s3            # and returns it.
 (Pdb) n
 > /root/epdb2.py(13)?()
 -> print final
 (Pdb)



如果不想在函数里单步调试可以在断点出直接按r退出到调用的地方。


在调试的时候动态改变值 。注意下面有个错误,原因是b已经被赋值了,如果想重新改变b的赋值,则应该使用!b

[root@rcc-pok-idg-2255 ~]# python epdb2.py
 > /root/epdb2.py(10)?()
 -> b = "bbb"
 (Pdb) var = "1234"
 (Pdb) b = "avfe"
*** The specified object '= "avfe"' is not a function
 or was not found along sys.path.
 (Pdb) !b="afdfd"
 (Pdb)



再贴一篇好文章:http://onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2005/09/01/debugger.html?page=1

Debugger Module Contents

The pdb module contains the debugger. pdb containsone class, Pdb, which inherits from bdb.Bdb. Thedebugger documentation mentions six functions, which create an interactivedebugging session:

pdb.run(statement[, globals[, locals]])
pdb.runeval(expression[, globals[, locals]])
pdb.runcall(function[, argument, ...])
pdb.set_trace()
pdb.post_mortem(traceback)
pdb.pm()

All six functions provide a slightly different mechanism for dropping a userinto the debugger.

pdb.run(statement[, globals[, locals]])

pdb.run() executes the string statement under thedebugger's control. Global and local dictionaries are optional parameters:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pdb

def test_debugger(some_int):
    print "start some_int>>", some_int
    return_int = 10 / some_int
    print "end some_int>>", some_int
    return return_int

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pdb.run("test_debugger(0)")

pdb.runeval(expression[,globals[, locals]])

pdb.runeval() is identical to pdb.run(), exceptthat pdb.runeval() returns the value of the evaluated stringexpression:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pdb

def test_debugger(some_int):
    print "start some_int>>", some_int
    return_int = 10 / some_int
    print "end some_int>>", some_int
    return return_int

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pdb.runeval("test_debugger(0)")

pdb.runcall(function[,argument, ...])

pdb.runcall() calls the specified function andpasses any specified arguments to it:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pdb

def test_debugger(some_int):
    print "start some_int>>", some_int
    return_int = 10 / some_int
    print "end some_int>>", some_int
    return return_int

if __name__ == "__main__":
    pdb.runcall(test_debugger, 0)

pdb.set_trace()

pdb.set_trace() drops the code into the debugger when executionhits it:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pdb

def test_debugger(some_int):
    pdb.set_trace()
    print "start some_int>>", some_int
    return_int = 10 / some_int
    print "end some_int>>", some_int
    return return_int

if __name__ == "__main__":
    test_debugger(0)

pdb.post_mortem(traceback)

pdb.post_mortem() performs postmortem debugging of thespecified traceback:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pdb

def test_debugger(some_int):
    print "start some_int>>", some_int
    return_int = 10 / some_int
    print "end some_int>>", some_int
    return return_int

if __name__ == "__main__":
    try:
        test_debugger(0)
    except:
        import sys
        tb = sys.exc_info()[2]
        pdb.post_mortem(tb)

pdb.pm()

pdb.pm() performs postmortem debugging of the tracebackcontained in sys.last_traceback:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import pdb
import sys

def test_debugger(some_int):
    print "start some_int>>", some_int
    return_int = 10 / some_int
    print "end some_int>>", some_int
    return return_int

def do_debugger(type, value, tb):
    pdb.pm()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.excepthook = do_debugger
    test_debugger(0)
