Subject: 23.2; PDB on OS X does not work
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:47:19 -0600

1) Create a Python file in Emacs, its contents don't really work but try to write a
script that actually does something

2) M-x pdb <Enter> <Enter>

What happens when yo do this is you end up with is a non-responsive
buffer that has the following in it:

Current directory is <YOUR_CURRENT_DIRECTORY>

and a blinking cursor.  I don't get any prompt to enter any pdb commands
and I also do not get the corresponding line in my python script
highlighted in the debugger.

You must be on OS X.  I ran into this in 23.1 but when I submitted the
bug fix, which for some reason doesn't appear to work in 23.2, it was a
follow-up to another bug so I don't think it was addressed.

What is wild is that I can execute PDB in a different way within Emacs
and it works just fine.  The way I have to do it to get it working is:

1) Open the Python file in emacs
2) M-x shell <Enter>
3) pdb <your_file>

Once I execute that, my shell prompts me for PDB as expected and my
corresponding line in the editor is highlighted.  So, well, I know the
core part of PDB is working to an extend but the way to execute "pdb
<Enter> <Enter>" isn't working.  (I think it's due to parsing the PDB
output on OS X as I refered to in bug 5653:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/db/56/5653.html)

I am interested in helping with this so please let me know how I can help.

I’m unable to reproduce this bug using Emacs 25.0.92.2 on OS X 10.11.3.

/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q -nw 
M-x pdb
Run pdb (like this): python2.6 -m pdb /tmp/foo.py

I get successfully dumped to a (Pdb) prompt where I can invoke commands.

Thanks for checking this. I'm going to close the bug report since
nobody's commented further on it.
