Support mixed mode C/Python debugging

description

This would be great feature which would enable users to step from Python code into C++ code and vice-versa.

I'm desperately waiting this one, and if you are too, at the moment you can try using WinDbg to debug C++ part while using VS2010 to debug Python part instead of re-attaching to native/Python. You can't use any other instance of Visual Studio (2008, 2010) to debug C++ part. Maybe it could work with older Visual Studio though.

This is also the #1 feature that would make my life easier.

This feature is likely to make Python Tools the preferred python editor for Windows devs in my company.

In our company we are developing the software using Python and C++ and need to put in debug messages while debugging which cumbersome and time consuming process. This tool will make the debugging more simple.

Yes, I can't even begin to describe how valuable this is.
As einaren say, this will really be setting a new standard for everyone when this starts to work.

I think it already has a high votecount, so hopefully you'll start on this soon?

At least, it would be nice to hear an ETA from you, so that we'll now.

We're actively looking into this right now, but we're acutely aware of unexpected complications. With a bit of luck, we'll have something in our next release later this year, but it may only have limited functionality.

If you're really keen to get hold of this, leave a comment here and make sure that we can contact you directly. We'll probably be able to get some early previews out if you're willing to test and send in diagnostic information (for example, code and minidumps).

@Zooba This is great news! I'll gladly help test this.

(I miss this feature every day)

@zooba: I too would like to participate in the testing. Thx!

Hi, I noticed that this feature wasn't in the 2.0 alpha release. Would you mind giving us a status update?
Thanks!

Zooba wrote Mar 19 at 3:45 PM

Working hard on it right now. Give us a month or two to get the core features into place and we'll have more to share.

@zooba: Sounds great! I definitely like to participate in the testing.

I'd like to help testing this feature as well please !

We're actively working on this feature with the aim to ship a usable (if not entirely on par feature-wise with regular Python debugging - certain things are much more complicated in the mixed world) implementation in the upcoming PTVS release. Stay tuned!
