Public bug reported:
to reproduce:
create a somewhat obviously python test file (with or without .py):
example
themusicgod1@Hedy:~/foob$ cat m_test.py
#!/bin/python
x = 1
if x == 1:
# indented four spaces
print ("x is 1.")
copy this file to /usr/bin
themusicgod1@Hedy:~/foob$ which m_test.py
/usr/bin/m_test.py
cd into the directory of your *local* file
themusicgod1@Hedy:~$ cd foob
themusicgod1@Hedy:~/foob$ ls
mnemosyne m_test.py
run ddd on m_test.py
This Works. So far so good?
now change into another directory. What should happen here is that because
m_test.py is still in the system path, ddd/pydb should still see it, and start
a debugging session with it.
What *does* happen is that ddd sees that it is in /usr/bin/m_test.py but it
does *not* start a debugging session, since ddd fails to see that it is a
python file(!), despite the fact that the very same file when specified locally
is handled correctly.
example:
themusicgod1@Hedy:~/foob$ cd
themusicgod1@Hedy:~$ ddd m_test.py
(ddd window opens up with
GNU DDD 3.3.12 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu), by Dorothea L"/usr/bin/m_test.py": not in
executable format: File format not recognized
and with *gdb* rather than pydb running as the debugger in the session frame
