rpdb2 without winpdb

rpdb2 can be used by dropping the rpdb2.py script in the root directory of the remote project then placing the

import rpdb2; rpdb2.start_embedded_debugger('asdf',fAllowRemote=True)

command in the running service. You can then attach to the service when it debugs by using the rpdb2.py command as well, but via the command line with

python -c "import rpdb2; rpdb2.main()"

Then from there do

  > password "asdf"

 Password is set to: "asdf"

 > attach

Using something like echo -e "\033[3A" lets you move up by 3 lines, indicated by the 3 in "[3A".


- Position the Cursor:
  \033[L;CH
     Or
  \033[L;Cf
  puts the cursor at line L and column C.
- Move the cursor up N lines:
  \033[NA
- Move the cursor down N lines:
  \033[NB
- Move the cursor forward N columns:
  \033[NC
- Move the cursor backward N columns:
  \033[ND

- Clear the screen, move to (0,0):
  \033[2J
- Erase to end of line:
  \033[K

- Save cursor position:
  \033[s
- Restore cursor position:
