Shell and Debugging

js

is the jumpscale shell just do 'js'

there are many more cmdline tools installed to explore do js`tab` and you will see...

# js
IPython ? -- An enhanced Interactive Python.
?         -> Introduction and overview of IPython's features.

import jumpscale in any python script

e.g. try using ipython

from JumpScale import j
j.[tab]

now underneath j there is a basic set of functionality available. just do j.tab

there are tons of extensions available which can be installed using jspackages (more about that later)

from an existing python script start JumpScale & go to the debug shell

from JumpScale import j

#your python code here ... optionally using jumpscale

from IPython import embed
print "DEBUG NOW in my shell on pos X"
embed()

your script will now stop & show you an ipython console in which you can inspect your code and work with all variables in an interactive way.

Alternative way of debugging ipdb.

Install ipdb 'apt-get install python-ipdb' or 'pip install ipdb'

ipdb exports functions to access the IPython debugger, which features tab completion, syntax highlighting, better tracebacks, better introspection with the same interface as the pdb module.

print "Debug point for checking ...."
import ipdb; ipdb.set_trace()

 ipdb.set_trace()
