With emacs 23.x, pdbtrack integration (giving you the arrow pointing to the current line of code) works with the regular M-x shell RET
. This is useful, for example, to drop into the debugger while running automated tests with a Makefile.
In emacs 24.x, this no longer works. I notice that if I run a python script with M-x python-shell-send-file
then the pdbtrack integration works. But it does not work when running python via a standard emacs shell (M-x shell RET
).
