How to add a breakpoint as filename:linenum ?

[etorth]

This may be a silly question, I have a TUI python program and I would like to debug it.
I found looks pudb has remote mode which perfectly fit my need, I tried.

But one question is: how to add a breakpoint by "filename:linenum" then run the program.
Then when this line is hit the program stops there then I can exam all variables?

Thanks a lot!

If you want to do it manually, the file is by default found at e.g. ~/.config/pudb/saved-breakpoints-3.11 for python 3.11. The format is lines that look like this:

b /path/to/your/source/file.py:LINE_NUMBER, CONDITION

The , CONDITION part is optional.

Self plug, but if you're using vim you could use https://github.com/mvanderkamp/vim-pudb-and-jam to manage pudb breakpoints from vim.
