Python debugger

It’s possible to automatically drop into the Python debugger when an exception is raised.

# test.py
def f(x): return 1/x
print(f(0))

python -m pdb -c c test.py

# Traceback (most recent call last) :
# ...
# ZeroDivisionError: division by zero Uncaught exception. Entering post mortem debugging
# Running 'cont' or 'step' will restart the program
# > /home/jhoward/test.py (1)f() → def f(x): return 1/x
# (Pdb) args
# x = 0
# (Pdb) q

The -c c option continues the program immediately, so you don’t have to type c to continue.
