If I want to debug the setup.py file of my package packagename getting installed via "pip install packagename" , is there a way to do so? I have tried downloading the source, adding set_trace() in setup.py and run:
pip install .
However, as soon I get pdb() prompt, the install fails with error:
Processing /Users/skauser/python-ibmdb/IBM_DB/ibm_db
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/b6/pmddncpn77550p8_g9kkx9f40000gp/T/pip-req-build-_fg8s5a2/
Although I can debug the source via: python setup.py build, the behavior that I want to debug is applicable when installed through pip.
Looking forward for recommendations. Thanks!
I'm trying to install
gdbgui
but the install fails. When I try tocd
to the/private/var/folders/....
I'm unable to as the folder doesn't exist. I would like to know wherepip2
caches its working files so I could go into there and manually adjust what I need to, or figure out the reason for the failure. – gone – 2020-01-26T15:19:38.473
