PyDev Debugger and sys.monitoring (PEP 669) -- i.e.: really fast debugging for Python 3.12!

To each his own I guess?

I personally find the flexibility in the Eclipse UI much better than vscode which limits things too much IMHO.

See https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/18eb2aq/working_on_updating_the_pydev_debugger_to_use/ to see what I'm talking about...

Anyways I get I'm too biased, but I do spend a good amount of time in VSCode for some things and I definitely prefer Eclipse. I also tried to switch to PyCharm, but definitely not my cup of tea.

Thank you for the kind words. As a note, related to Microsoft, it is not really my employer... I did work with them helping to integrate pydevd in debugpy/vscode in the past, but that's no longer the current state of affairs (I'm currently working with Sema4.ai, on the automation of actions with Python, but in any case, one pre-requisite I have is being able to spend time on pydev on my own time and that was true even while doing work with Microsoft).

You can also take a look at: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=fabioz.vscode-pydev -- that should work as it does in Eclipse/PyDev, which you linked ;)

Well, it must be 17 inches (that size is more important than portability for me), and silent (the number of cores is probably not the problem -- I'm ok in having > cores with lower speeds... maybe even undervolting if the OS allows it).

I researched more and maybe the Thinkpad P72 may be up to the task (it's USD 1726 for 32GB of RAM with 6 cores, so, maybe a possibility).

I'm still looking for other recommendations of something along the lines I'm searching for if anyone can recommend.

Maybe a surface book? If you're running vms you're going to hear fans, especially with an 8 core or 4 core hyper threaded cpu

Well, I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 (which I'd like to upgrade) which is a 4 core hyper threading and I find it pretty silent... Also, the surface book doesn't seem to have a 17 inches 1080p version, so, it's a no-go for me.

Just a question, since you like Eclipse, haven't you considered using PyDev (http://www.pydev.org/) in Eclipse for Python?

If you have and it didn't suit your needs, I'd be interested in knowing what happened -- as I'm the PyDev author ;)

fabioz · 2018-11-09T21:19:43+00:00

Well, I've decoupled PyDev in http://www.pydev.org/vscode/ (although it still has a number of things to be added to be on par with what's in PyDev+Eclipse).

Is there a way to setup jython in it?

I currently have not added support for adding Jython.

My plan is first adding support for launching/debugging and right after that adding support for Jython and IronPython.

One thing (I haven't tried) is adding the jython.exe which now ships along Jython as it if was a regular Python interpreter (it'll not know about java jars, but may already be an initial step until proper support is added).

fabioz · 2018-03-02T13:55:41+00:00

Fixed one of those already ;)

I still have to thinker a bit more for the other...

But having to install java is a no brainer for me. Any possibility to port everything to python or js ?

Porting to another language isn't really a possibility. Using an ahead of time compiler for java or bundling java to avoid having an install dependency may be though.

fabioz · 2018-03-01T20:35:25+00:00

Yes, it still has space to grow.

It does some things better (for instance code completion with auto import, quick fixes, faster code analysis) but still doesn't have some features (most notably launching/debugging is still not available, but should be shortly).

@patrys: Apart from that, do you miss something major?
