<h1>26.1. <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">bdb</span></tt> — Debugger framework<a class="headerlink" href="#module-bdb" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>The <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">bdb</span></tt> module handles basic debugger functions, like setting breakpoints
or managing execution via the debugger.</p>
<p>The following exception is defined:</p>
<dl class="exception">
<dt id="bdb.BdbQuit">
<em class="property">exception </em><tt class="descclassname">bdb.</tt><tt class="descname">BdbQuit</tt><a class="headerlink" href="#bdb.BdbQuit" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd>Exception raised by the <a title="bdb.Bdb" class="reference internal" href="#bdb.Bdb"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">Bdb</span></tt></a> class for quitting the debugger.</dd></dl>
<p>The <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">bdb</span></tt> module also defines two classes:</p>
<dl class="class">
<dt id="bdb.Breakpoint">
<em class="property">class </em><tt class="descclassname">bdb.</tt><tt class="descname">Breakpoint</tt><big>(</big><em>self</em>, <em>file</em>, <em>line</em><span class="optional">[</span>, <em>temporary=0</em><span class="optional">[</span>, <em>cond=None</em><span class="optional">[</span>, <em>funcname=None</em><span class="optional">]</span><span class="optional">]</span><span class="optional">]</span><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#bdb.Breakpoint" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>This class implements temporary breakpoints, ignore counts, disabling and
(re-)enabling, and conditionals.</p>
<p>Breakpoints are indexed by number through a list called <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">bpbynumber</span></tt>
and by <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">(file,</span> <span class="pre">line)</span></tt> pairs through <tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">bplist</span></tt>. The former points to a
single instance of class <a title="bdb.Breakpoint" class="reference internal" href="#bdb.Breakpoint"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">Breakpoint</span></tt></a>. The latter points to a list of
such instances since there may be more than one breakpoint per line.</p>
<p>When creating a breakpoint, its associated filename should be in canonical
form. If a <em>funcname</em> is defined, a breakpoint hit will be counted when the
first line of that function is executed. A conditional breakpoint always
counts a hit.</p>
<p><a title="bdb.Breakpoint" class="reference internal" href="#bdb.Breakpoint"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">Breakpoint</span></tt></a> instances have the following methods:</p>

<dd><p>The <a title="bdb.Bdb" class="reference internal" href="#bdb.Bdb"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">Bdb</span></tt></a> class acts as a generic Python debugger base class.</p>
<p>This class takes care of the details of the trace facility; a derived class
should implement user interaction. The standard debugger class
(<tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">pdb.Pdb</span></tt>) is an example.</p>
<p>The <em>skip</em> argument, if given, must be an iterable of glob-style
module name patterns. The debugger will not step into frames that
originate in a module that matches one of these patterns. Whether a
frame is considered to originate in a certain module is determined
by the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__name__</span></tt> in the frame globals.</p>
<p class="versionadded">
<span class="versionmodified">New in version 2.7: </span>The <em>skip</em> argument.</p>
<p>The following methods of <a title="bdb.Bdb" class="reference internal" href="#bdb.Bdb"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">Bdb</span></tt></a> normally don’t need to be overridden.</p>

<tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">quitting</span></tt> attributes with values ready to start debugging.</dd></dl>
<dl class="method">

<dd><p>This function is installed as the trace function of debugged frames. Its
return value is the new trace function (in most cases, that is, itself).</p>
<p>The default implementation decides how to dispatch a frame, depending on
the type of event (passed as a string) that is about to be executed.
<em>event</em> can be one of the following:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"line"</span></tt>: A new line of code is going to be executed.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"call"</span></tt>: A function is about to be called, or another code block
entered.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"return"</span></tt>: A function or other code block is about to return.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"exception"</span></tt>: An exception has occurred.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"c_call"</span></tt>: A C function is about to be called.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"c_return"</span></tt>: A C function has returned.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"c_exception"</span></tt>: A C function has thrown an exception.</li>
</ul>
<p>For the Python events, specialized functions (see below) are called. For
the C events, no action is taken.</p>
<p>The <em>arg</em> parameter depends on the previous event.</p>
<p>See the documentation for <a title="sys.settrace" class="reference external" href="sys.html#sys.settrace"><tt class="xref docutils literal"><span class="pre">sys.settrace()</span></tt></a> for more information on the
trace function. For more information on code and frame objects, refer to

<p>The following two methods can be called by clients to use a debugger to debug
a <a class="reference external" href="../glossary.html#term-statement"><em class="xref">statement</em></a>, given as a string.</p>
<dl class="method">

<p>Finally, the module defines the following functions:</p>

<dd><p>Check whether we should break here, depending on the way the breakpoint <em>b</em>
was set.</p>
<p>If it was set via line number, it checks if <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">b.line</span></tt> is the same as the one
in the frame also passed as argument. If the breakpoint was set via function
name, we have to check we are in the right frame (the right function) and if
we are in its first executable line.</p>
</dd></dl>
<dl class="function">
<dt id="bdb.effective">
<tt class="descclassname">bdb.</tt><tt class="descname">effective</tt><big>(</big><em>file</em>, <em>line</em>, <em>frame</em><big>)</big><a class="headerlink" href="#bdb.effective" title="Permalink to this definition">¶</a></dt>
<dd><p>Determine if there is an effective (active) breakpoint at this line of code.
Return breakpoint number or 0 if none.</p>
<p>Called only if we know there is a breakpoint at this location. Returns the
breakpoint that was triggered and a flag that indicates if it is ok to delete
a temporary breakpoint.</p>
