[orca-list] orca live debugging

[Jon <j orcauser googlemail com>]

Hello there,

I'm trying to hook into orca code and get a debug console at specific 
locations in the code, to help me to learn and explore the workings of 
orca, while it is running.

as example i used (in Gecko.py):
from IPython.Shell import IPShellEmbed
ipshell = IPShellEmbed(["-gthread"],banner="IpythonStarted\n",exit_msg 
="Leaving ipython.\n")
then where i wanted the shell to pop up, i used ipshell()
then make/make install, and ran orca, opened up firefox and triggered 
the code.
the output is:
jon ml2:~/builds/orca$ orca
ipythonStarted
In [1]:
Do you really want to exit ([y]/n)?
Leaving ipython.


I didnt get a chanse to interact with it, it seemed to shut down 
immediately.

I have searched the 2007-2008 irc logs, but no hint of how to interact 
with python/orca while it is running.

Any hints of where to look greatly welcome.

I really would like to learn so that i can try to help out with Orca.

Thanks

-Jon
