Piping input to script to be debugged leads to TypeError #423

Closed pyrrhull closed 3 years ago

I am wondering if this is possible with pudb or if there is a workaround. I try to debug a script that gets its input from stdin over a pipe like this:

cat input.txt | python script.py

I already tried to set PYTHONBREAKPOINT=pudb.forked.set_trace but i always get the error:

TypeError: ord() expected a character, but string of length 0 found.

No, pudb expects stdin to be a pty.

Meanwhile I found this to work: 

read = sys.stdin.readlines() 
sys.stdin = open("/dev/tty")
breakpoint()
