End of SoC
Well that's it now. Summer of Code is over for another year. I've had a great time working on it and managed to get some nice stuff into pdb/pydb. Whilst I didn't complete all of the goals I'd set myself there's definately been some progress. One new thing that pydb has is gdb-like signal handling.
* gdb-like signal handling
Also yet to be merged but working is the ability to debug a process from another process and the ability to debug a process remotely. These will be neat features when they go in.
The thing that I didn't complete though, that the ability to debug threaded applications. This proved to be much more involved than either I or my mentor had first thought. However, we're still working on this and hope to get it into pydb soon.
If anyone's thinking about taking part next year, I whole-heartedly recommend it! Having a mentor to guide you is great, and you get to take advantage of that fountain of experience. A big thanks to my mentor, Rocky!
