I’m trying to debug a deadlock in a multi-threaded Python application after it has locked up. Is there a way to attach a debugger to inspect the state of the process?
Edit: I’m attempting this on Linux, but it would be great if there were a cross-platform solution. It’s Python after all 🙂
Yeah, gdb is good for lower level debugging.
You can change threads with the thread command.
e.g
You could also check out Python specific debuggers like Winpdb, or pydb. Both platform independent.
