news.ycombinator.com Raphael Gaschignard 2026-02-20 18:57:25

From Python 3.14, python -m pdb -p pid lets you connect a pdb session to a running Python process. This post goes into a part of what makes this possible. The barrier to entry for writing general debugging tools for Python programs has always been quite low. Unlike many languages, you're rarely finding yourself working with weird internals.
