       winpdb, rpdb2 — platform independent Python debugger

SYNOPSIS

       winpdb,  rpdb2  [-h,  --help]   [-d,  --debuggee]   [-a,  --attach]   [-o,  --host]  [-r, --remote]  [-e,
       --encrypt]  [-p, --pwd]  [-s, --screen]  [-c, --chdir]  [--debug]  [[<script-name> [<script-args>...]]]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the winpdb and rpdb2 commands.

       This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program  does  not  have  a
       manual page.

       winpdb  is  a GUI frontend to rpdb2, a remote debugger for python, which is capable to debug threads- and
       curses-based code.

OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with  long  options  starting  with  two  dashes
       (`-').  A summary of options is included below.

       -h           --help
                 Print the program's help.

       -d           --debuggee
                 Start debuggee and break into it, without starting a debugger console.

       -a           --attach
                 Attach to an already started debuggee.

       -o           --host
                 Specify host for attachment.

       -r           --remote
                 Allow debuggees to accept connections from remote machines.

       -e           --encrypt
                 Force encrypted connections between debugger and debuggees.

       -p           --pwd
                 Password.  This  flag  is  available only on NT systems.  On other systems the password will be
                 queried interactively if it is needed.

       -s           --screen
                 Use the Unix screen utility when spawning the debuggee.

       -c           --chdir
                 Change the working directory to that of the launched script.

       --debug   Debug prints.
