How to tell pudb to pause on exception

[cool-RR]

Hi everyone!

This might be a silly question from a long-time PuDB user, but for some reason I can't figure it out. How do I get PuDB to pause and show me the PuDB UI when there's an exception? Right now I'm using pudb.set_trace(), which pauses without an exception, which I don't want. If I use pudb.set_trace(False), and an exception happens, it doesn't pause and start the PuDB UI, it just exits Python.

Thanks for your help,
Ram Rachum.

Two ways:

• Run your script with python -m pudb myscript.py.
• Catch the exception and run pudb.pm() in the except clause. (See Remote debugging fixes #486 for some possible fixes to that.)

Thank you for the quick reply Andreas. Unfortunately I work in a corporate environment where a complicated build process is running my Python program, so I can't just slip `-m pudb` in there. Regarding the second option, that would require knowing which exception it is in advance :( Is there no other way to do that?

Can't you just catch Exception? (see the snippet in the description of #486 for an example)

Ah, I didn't consider wrapping the entire program! Yes, this sounds like it could work. Thank you!
