# pdb.py -- finally, a Python debugger!
-# To do:
-# - Keep a list of exceptions trapped (default only KeyboardInterrupt?)
-# - A blank line should repeat the previous command, not execute 'next'
-# - Don't line-trace functions (or at least files) without breakpoints
-# - Better handling of call/return events
-# - It should be possible to intercept KeyboardInterrupt completely
-# - Where and when to stop exactly when 'next' encounters a return?
-# (should be level-based -- don't trace anything deeper than current)
-# - Show stack traces upside-down (like dbx/gdb)
-# - When stopping on an exception, show traceback stack
-# - Merge with tb (for post-mortem usage)
+# To use the debugger in its simplest form:
+# >>> import pdb
+# >>> pdb.run('<a statement>')
+# The debugger's prompt is '(Pdb) '.
+# This will stop in the first function call in <a statement>.
+
+# The commands recognized by the debugger are listed below.
+# Most can be abbreviated as indicated; e.g., h(elp) means that
+# 'help' can be typed as 'h' or 'help'
+# (but not as 'he' or 'hel', nor as 'H' or 'Help' or 'HELP').
+# Optional arguments are enclosed in square brackets.
+
+# A blank line repeats the previous command literally.
+# (Except for 'list', where it lists the next 11 lines.)
+
+# Commands that the debugger does not recognized are assumed to
+# be Python statements and are executed in the context of the
+# program being debugged.
+# Python statements can also be prefixed with an exclamation point ('!').
+# This is a powerful way to inspect the program being debugged;
+# it is even possible to change variables.
+# When an exception occurs in such a statement, the exception name
+# is printed but the debugger's state is not changed.
+
+# The debugger is not directly programmable; but it is implemented
+# as a class from which you can derive your own debugger class,
+# so you can make as fancy as you like.
+
+# The debugger's commands are:
+
+# h(elp)
+# Without argument, print the list of available commands.
+# With a command name as argument, print help about that command
+# (this is currently not implemented).
+
+# w(here)
+# Print a stack trace, with the most recent frame at the bottom.
+# An arrow indicates the "current frame", which determines the
+# context of most commands.
+
+# d(own)
+# Move the current frame one level down in the stack trace
+# (to an older frame).
+
+# u(p)
+# Move the current frame one level up in the stack trace
+# (to a newer frame).
+
+# b(reak) [lineno]
+# With a line number argument, set a break there in the current file.
+# Without argument, list all breaks.
+
+# cl(ear) [lineno]
+# With a line number argument, clear that break in the current file.
+# Without argument, clear all breaks (but first ask confirmation).
+
+# s(tep)
+# Execute the current line, stop at the first possible occasion
+# (either in a function that is called or in the current function).
+
+# n(ext)
+# Continue execution until the next line in the current function
+# is reached or it returns.
+
+# r(eturn)
+# Continue execution until the current function returns.
+
+# c(ont(inue))
+# Continue execution, only stop when a breakpoint is encountered.
+
+# l(ist) [first [,last]]
+# List source code for the current file.
+# Without arguments, list 11 lines around the current line
+# or continue the previous listing.
+# With one argument, list 11 lines starting at that line.
+# With two arguments, list the given range;
+# if the second argument is less than the first, it is a count.
+
+# a(rgs)
+# Print the argument list of the current function.
+
+# p expression
+# Print the value of the expression.
+
+# (!) statement
+# Execute the (one-line) statement in the context of
+# the current stack frame.
+# The exclamation point can be omitted unless the first word
+# of the statement resembles a debugger command.
+# To assign to a global variable you must always prefix the
+# command with a 'global' command, e.g.:
+# (Pdb) global list_options; list_options = ['-l']
+# (Pdb)
+
+# q(uit)
+# Quit from the debugger.
+# The program being executed is aborted.
+
+
+# Here's how it works.
+
+# Some changes were made to the interpreter:
+# - if sys.trace is defined (by the user), it should be a function
+# - sys.trace is called the global trace function
+# - there can also a local trace function (see later)
+
+# Trace functions have three arguments: (frame, event, arg)
+# - frame is the current stack frame
+# - event is a string: 'call', 'line', 'return' or 'exception'
+# - arg is dependent on the event type
+# A trace function should return a new trace function or None.
+# Class methods are accepted (and most useful!) as trace methods.
+
+# The events have the following meaning:
+#
+# 'call': A function is called (or some other code block entered).
+# The global trace function is called;
+# arg is the argument list to the function;
+# the return value specifies the local trace function.
+#
+# 'line': The interpreter is about to execute a new line of code
+# (sometimes multiple line events on one line exist).
+# The local trace function is called; arg in None;
+# the return value specifies the new local trace function.
+#
+# 'return': A function (or other code block) is about to return.
+# The local trace function is called;
+# arg is the value that will be returned.
+# The trace function's return value is ignored.
+#
+# 'exception': An exception has occurred.
+# The local trace function is called if there is one,
+# else the global trace function is called;
+# arg is a triple (exception, value, traceback);
+# the return value specifies the new local trace function
+#
+# Note that as an exception is propagated down the chain of callers,
+# an 'exception' event is generated at each level.
+
+# A stack frame object has the following read-only attributes:
+# f_code: the code object being executed
+# f_lineno: the current line number (-1 for 'call' events)
+# f_back: the stack frame of the caller, or None
+# f_locals: dictionary containing local name bindings
+# f_globals: dictionary containing global name bindings
+
+# A code object has the following read-only attributes:
+# co_code: the code string
+# co_names: the list of names used by the code
+# co_consts: the list of (literal) constants used by the code
+# co_filename: the filename from which the code was compiled
