Recognize Breakpoints in Multiple Buffers

[pweibert]

With this feature debugger will not just interrupt execution at breakpoints in the buffer it was called on (main buffer) but also on breakpoints that were set in other buffers that whose code has been executed by main buffer.

Thus when we set a breakpoint in main.py buffer and one in submodule/mod.py buffer starting the debugger in main will interrupt on execution of main but recognize the breakpoint in submodule/mod.py and interrupt execution.

 main.py
 -- submodule/mod.py

Any news on this PR? I would really like to use it in my emacs without having to patch the files every time.

Hey, maintainership for elpy has sadly slowed down with all the maintainers not having enough time. Sadly I don't know much about this area of the code and it has been a while in general since i've done work with elpy. Might not be able to get to this soon

Hey @pweibert, have you been using this PR for a while? any issues arise? LGTM but want to verify since I'm not using elpy and I am slowly starting to have time to help out again, and would like to get all PR's merged :)

Thx!

Hello @gopar, happy to hear that you have time to move some things forward :). Yes, I've tested the code a while and it was stable for me. Let me describe the basic functionality.
Before PR:
When you set breakpoints in multiple files of you project e.g. in module.py and in main.py and start debugging from main: only main.py breakpoints are passed to python debugger pdb .
After PR:
When you set breakpoints in multiple files of you project e.g. in module.py and in main.py and start debugging from main: breakpoints from main.py and module.py are passed to python debugger pdb .

So PR basically takes care that all breakpoints are collected from open buffers and are passed to pdb with file-name and line-number per breakpoint. It is much more convenient to debug the whole project and not just the main file.

Suggested change

	Run pdb on the current buffer. If no breakpoints has been set in any
	open buffer with elpy mode using

Nice!, left 3 comments. After those are resolve and CI passes, then everything should be good to merge!
