Debugging PyQt5 module [RESOLVED]

[John Ehresman]

I think many / most Python debuggers are based on pdb (long ago in some cases), though they’ve had features added and are often faster because they’ve had parts rewritten in C. That said, I’d think that the emacs / pdb combo would work fine to debug a PyQt based application.

Cheers,

John
