python plugin IPDB installation

Question

I tried to install ipdb for debugging python, but after I downloaded ipdb0.61 and extracted it, there are only a few .py file. I don't know how to install it? I tried to run setup.py, it did not work. In the folder "IPDB" there are two py files: main.py and init.py. How should I install it? I know there is another way to do it by the way of easy_instal. However I want to modify it to support python3.

Answer 1

easy_install should be able to install it for you by typing

easy_install ipdb

If you don't have setup_tools get them from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools/
