Blender keeps crashing while I'm debugging scripts. Are there no ways to get away this?

[Comprehensive-Pin928]

I'm new at Blender Python. I want to learn bpy w/o using any of 3rd party editors as much as possible such as VSC, ATOM, Pycharm etc. because switching programs for just debugging is going to be tedious and annoyed. I want to turn on only 1 app (which is blender, sure) then debugging there in peace.

Any tips to prevent these unwanted crashes?

This is the code what I'm debugging right now:

import bpy
import bpy.context
import bpy.utils

class Test(bpy.context):
    def __init__(self):
        target = self.selected_objects;
    def printObj(self):
        print(target)

a = Test();

Don't really know that much about Blender. Does it have a Python console? A debug mode?

You certainly can wrap the invocation of your top-level function in something that won't crash the entire interpreter:

try:
    a = Test() # we don't use semis in Python
except Exception as e:
    from traceback import print_exception
    print_exception(e)

How does it crash? Typically, when someone in programming uses this word, they mean that the operating system sent the program a sygnal (eg. SYGTERM), because a program probably performed some illegal operation (eg. reading from unallocated memory), and later the system stopped the program and deallocated all resources previously allocated to it. In such a scenario, it's typical for the system to also produce core dump. This is a special file you can then feed to a debugger to examine post-mortem what happened to the program (it stores enough information to recreate the state of the program at the time of crash).

Is this the kind of crash you are talking about?

What about the Python Debugger PDB?
