Debuggers are indispensable tools for all Python developers, empowering them to conquer bugs and unravel complex systems. Let's create our own.
Debuggers are indispensable tools for all Python developers, empowering them to conquer bugs and unravel complex systems. But have you ever wondered how they work? Curious about the implementation of features like conditional breakpoints and single stepping?
Join me for a talk in which we create our own debugger with conditional breakpoints, single stepping, and a Python-based debugging shell and learn a lot about debuggers along the way.
Johannes Bechberger is a JVM developer working on profilers and their underlying technology in the SapMachine team at SAP. He started at SAP in 2022 after two years of research studies at the KIT in Java security analyses. His work today comprises many open-source contributions and his blog, where he writes regularly on in-depth profiling and debugging topics and works on his JEP Candidate 435 to add a new profiling API to the OpenJDK. He has been an avid Python user for almost 10 years, with a special interest in type systems and debuggers.
Since 2023 he's touring through the meet-ups and conferences of Europe, like JavaZone and Devoxx Belgium to speak on various topics.
