<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578073 by <a href="/recipes/users/4172918/">Daniel Cohn</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/debugging/">debugging</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/decorator/">decorator</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdb/">pdb</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/redirect/">redirect</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/robot/">robot</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/rpdb/">rpdb</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/stdin/">stdin</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/stdout/">stdout</a>). </p> <p>Robotframework (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/</a>) is a tool used to run functional tests against a variety of targets. Tests are organized in the form of keyword tsv or html files, which map input parameters to keyword-argument methods in the test suite. Robot includes a fairly advanced logging mechanism, which is cool -- until you try to debug anything. Debugging is made difficult because robot steals stdin and stdout when it is run, which means bye-bye debugging in the terminal. rpdb solves this in a KISS simple way.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576553 by <a href="/recipes/users/4167472/">Romain Dartigues</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/email/">email</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/generators/">generators</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/mbox/">mbox</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/read_only/">read_only</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/stdin/">stdin</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>The Python <code>mailbox.mbox</code> class require a real file to initialize, which was an issue in my case. These simple functions let you iter through a mailbox read from a read-only file descriptor (like <code>sys.stdin</code>).</p> <p>This script use the generators which were introduced in Python-2.2. Let me know if you are interested a similar functionnality on older Python versions.</p>
