madbg 1.3.2
madbg
A fully-featured remote debugger for python.
Provides a full remote tty, allowing sending keyboard signals to the debugger,
tab completion, command history, line editing and more
Runs the IPython debugger with all its capabilities
Allows attaching to running programs preemptively (does not require gdb, unlike similar tools)
Affects the debugged program minimally, although not yet recommended for use in production environments
Provides TTY features even when debugged program is a deamon, or run outside a terminal
Installation
pip install madbg
Usage
Madbg provide both a python API and a CLI.
Attaching to a running process
madbg attach <pid>
Or
import madbg
madbg.attach_to_process(pid)
Starting a debugger
Using the CLI
Run a python file with automatic post-mortem:
madbg run path_to_your_script.py <args_for_script ...>
Run a python module similarly to python -m:
madbg run -m module.name <args_for_script ...>
Start a script, starting the debugger from the first line:
madbg run --use-set-trace script.py <args_for_script ...>
Using the API
Start a debugger in the next line:
madbg.set_trace()
Continue running the program until a client connects, then stop it and start a debugger:
madbg.set_trace_on_connect()
After an exception has occurred, or in an exception context, start a debugger in the frame the exception was raised from:
madbg.post_mortem()
Connecting to a debugger
Using the CLI
madbg connect
Using the API
madbg.connect_to_debugger()
Connection
All madbg API functions and CLI entry points allow using a custom IP and port (the default is 127.0.0.1:3513), for example:
madbg.set_trace(ip='0.0.0.0', port=1337)
or
madbg connect 8.8.8.8 1337
Platforms
Madbg supports linux with python>=3.7.
