Winpdb project is an advanced python debugger, with support for smart breakpoints, multiple threads, namespace modification, embedded debugging, encrypted communication and speed of up to 20 times that of pdb.

Well, actually rpdb2 is the advanced debugger and Winpdb is its GUI, and I am their author, and this is their home page. So, whenever I refer in this website to Winpdb, whatever I write about it applies to rpdb2 too, except for GUI stuff of course. They even use the same command line flags.

Here are some key features of "Winpdb":
GPL License
Compatible with CPython 2.3, 2.4
Platform independent, and tested on Windows XP, Linux Fedora-Core 4, and Mac OSX Tiger
User Interfaces: rpdb2 is console based, while winpdb requires wxPython 2.6

What's New in This Release:
Wrong terminal command in RHEL4
not work with Ubuntu Dapper 6.06
script launch fails with gnome-terminal
Filtering should work anywhere
Doesn't work with *.pyw scripts
Slightly difficult to use a custom terminal in rpdb2
Sort names alphabetically
"# -*- coding: " problem
Also includes fixes for compatibility issues with Python 2.5 and wxPython 2.7.2
