Revision history  [back]

I've started a new topic for the discussion that was started around PyGTK (https://ask.wingware.com/question/8485/how-can-i-run-a-pygtk-program-in-wingide/). PyGTK is no longer in the picture... I'm just trying to get basic debugging working on a new installation of WingIDE 9.1.1.4.

I create a new project in a temp folder. I create the following file "test.py":

print("Hello world!")
x = 4 / 0
print("All done!")

I put a break point on the divide by zero line, and run the code. The break point does not catch, and the divide by zero gives me this error:

File "C:\Temp\Python\test/c:\Temp\Python\test\test.py", line 3, in <module>

builtins.ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

You can see that the path for test.py is messed up, sort of "doubled". I assume that's why the break points aren't working. And if I double-click on the error (what always used to take me to the offending line), it does nothing.

So what stupid, simple error am I making?!

UPDATE:

I've done a little more testing. In the New Project dialog, if I select "Use Existing Python" and under Python Executable select "Use Default" , everything works just fine, with break points and normal file paths. (That uses a Python 3.8.10 environment that I have installed on my system)

However, if as Python Executable I select "Command Line" (still under "Use Existing Python"), and I select my MSYS2 environment, "C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/python.exe", then I get this behavior of "doubled" path, and break points not working:

File "C:\Temp\Python\test4/c:\Temp\Python\test4\test4.py", line 4, in <module>

builtins.ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

The MSYS2 Python executable is 3.11.5, and seems to be working normally otherwise. But the WingIDE debugger doesn't seem to be "connected" into it somehow. Any suggestions?
