Hi, I'm new to Python (1 week), but I'm writing an out-of-process debugger for a Python ide. I tried execFile first, but stuff leaked over from the wx libraries we are using. And, anyway, the next code set is PHP so this has to be tackled anyway.
So, the question: How to communicate between two instances of the python interpreter? Specifically, I need to pass the api and objects from bdb, the base class for the debugger. One interpreter runs the ide, the other the debugger and client code. We were talking and just opening a socket and doing the rest from there came up. This, to me, (admitedly a java guy) seems like a lot of work. If it were just setting breakppoints and stepping, well ok. But I also want to have introspection on the debugger side objects. I could use raw sockets and write a bunch of stuff. Does anyone have a suggestion about some pythonesque way to tackle this?
