Tab completion in zopectl debug
8 answers - 1080 bytes -
Hi,
I have recently learned how to add tab completion to an interactive
python session and to pdb, thanks to Tom Lazar and to Jacob at
ParTecs. More info with links on my first blog entry in three months:
At the end of that entry I ask a question: Can we add tab completion
to the zopectl debugger? actually more general: can we load the
~/.pythonrc.py file when the zopectl debugger is started? In that
file, the user can arrange tab completion or anything else he wants to
have available for interactive python sessions.
It is very easy to do: just add 'import user;' to the command line in
the do_debug function of $ For
details, see that blog entry.
I don't think there are security risks (but don't take my word for
it). If someone can put malicious python code in that rc file, than
that someone could just as easily start a python session and enter the
malicious code there.
This would just be for convenience. Would this be enough of a
convenience to put into the Zope source code?

just a thought: you might also use ipython, which has tab-completion by
default:

Looks good, is there any way this can be done by putting more code in
do_debug and not usering .pythonrc.py?

In any case, this would be cool, please add a feature request + patch in
the collector:

cheers,

Chris

Nothing prevents you to call "execfile" at the start of your
debug session.

Lazyness prevents me to call "execfile" at the start of my debug
session. :)

Sure. Instead of adding 'import user' in do_debug, you can add

print "Hello Chris, good luck with your debugging session!";

or anything else you fancy. Adding multiline statements probably
doesn't work that well. So 'import user' seems cleaner to me.

In any case, this would be cool, please add a feature request + patch in
the collector:

I'll experiment some more and listen to other reactions, but then I'll
look into adding some lines to the collector, yes, unless someone
beats me to it.

I saw that mentioned in one of the links on my page as well; looks
promising; I'll try it out, thanks.
The following also mention ipython in the light of zope:

+1. The original version of zopectl actually supported this, along with
persistent command-line history: the person who rewrote it didn't
actually use it, and so left a number of those features out ('test',
'run', and 'debug' have all been added back in).
