Message265300
when debugging a program at the pdb prompt, attempting to import from the __future__ module appears successful, but actually doesn't work:
(Pdb) from __future__ import division
(Pdb) 2/3
0
This leads to inconsistencies between statements evaluated on the pdb prompt and those evaluated in the program, which can hamper debugging. It would be good to have a note added to the 2.7 documentation for pdb along the lines of:
Note: importing from the __future__ module does not work under pdb. |
