Personality

Selects the overall editor personality, optionally to emulate another commonly used editor.

Internal Name: edit.personality

Data Specification: [normal, brief, eclipse, emacs, osx, matlab, vi, visualstudio, xcode]

Default Value: osx

Tab Key Action

Defines the action of the Tab key, one of: "Default for Personality" to emulate the selected Keyboard Personality. "Indent To Match" to indent the current line or selected line(s) to match the context, "Move to Next Tab Stop" to enter indentation characters so the caret reaches the next tab stop, "Indent Region" to increase the indentation of the selected line(s) by one level, or "Insert Tab Character" to insert a Tab character (chr(9)). For Python files, "Smart Tab" is an option that varies the tab key action according to the location of the caret within the line.

Internal Name: edit.tab-key-action

Data Specification: [dict; keys: <type str>, values: <type str>]

Smart Tab End of Line Indents

Select type of indentation that Smart Tab will place at the end of a line.

Default Value: 4

Alt Key

Selects the key to use as the Alt- modifier in key bindings. Note that the Option key is also used to enter characters, such as ® on US keyboards or ] on German keyboards. When the Option key is used for the Alt key, Alt-key bindings take precedence and thus may block entering of characters with the Option key. If both functions are needed, use the left Option key for the Alt-key and enter characters with the right Option key. If the Command keys are used for the Alt key, any Alt-key bindings will override Command-key bindings for the same key.

Use Alt for Accelerators

Specifies whether plain Alt keystrokes should be used only for accelerators. When enabled, Alt-key presses that could be for an accelerator will be used only for accelerators and never for key bindings. When disabled, Alt-key bindings take precedence over accelerators. This preference is ignored when Wing is running with native macOS display style, since in that case accelerators do not exist.

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Custom Key Bindings

Override key bindings in the keymap. To enter the key, place focus on the entry area and type the key combination desired. The command is one of those documented in the user manual’s Command Reference, or the name of any user scripts that have been loaded into the IDE. Leave the command name blank to remove the default binding for a key (this is useful when adding multi-key bindings that conflict with a default).

Internal Name: gui.keymap-override

Data Specification: [dict; keys: <type str>, values: <type str>]

Typing Group Timeout

Data Specification: <type float>, <type int>

Default Value: 1

VI Mode Ctrl-C/X/V

Controls the behavior of the Ctrl-X/C/V key bindings in vi mode. Either always use these for cut/copy/paste, use them for vi native actions such as initiate-numeric-repeat and start-select-rectangle, or use the default by system (clipboard on win32 and other commands elsewhere).

• External Display

File Display Commands

Posix only: The commands used to display or edit local disk files selected from the Help menu or project files selected for external display.

The mime type "*" can be used to set a generic viewer, such as a web browser. Use %s to place the file name on the command lines. If unspecified then Wing will use the configured URL viewer in the environment (specified by BROWSER environment variable or by searching the path for common browsers). On Windows, the default viewer for the file type is used instead so this preference is ignored. On macOS, files are opened with "open" by default so this preference is rarely needed.

Internal Name: gui.file-display-cmds

Data Specification: [dict; keys: <type str>, values: [list of: <type str>]]

Url Display Commands

Posix only: The commands used to display URLs. This is a map from protocol type to a list of display commands; each display command is tried in order of the list until one works. The protocol "*" can be used to set a generic viewer, such as a multi-protocol web browser. Use %s to place the URL on the command lines. If unspecified then Wing will use the configured URL viewer in the environment (specified by BROWSER environment variable or by searching the path for common browsers). On Windows, the default web browser is used instead so this preference is ignored. On macOS, URLs are opened with "open" by default so this preference is rarely needed.

Internal Name: debug.multi-process-maximum

Data Specification: <type int>

Default Value: 50

Debug Multiple Tests at Once

Enable debugging more than one unit test at once. When enabled, the Debug/Abort button in the Testing tool alters according to which test is selected.

Internal Name: debug.multi-process-multiple-tests

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Debug Multiple Instances of a Named Entry Point

Enable debugging more than one instance of a named entry point. When disabled, any existing debug process for a named entry point will be terminated when it is debugged.

Internal Name: debug.multi-process-multiple-entry-points

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

• Exceptions

Report Exceptions

Controls how Wing reports exceptions that are raised by your debug process. By default, Wing shows exceptions at the time that the exception traceback would normally be printed. Alternatively, Wing can try to predict which exceptions are unhandled, and stop immediately when unhandled exceptions are raised so that any finally clauses can be stepped through in the debugger. Wing can also stop on all exceptions (even if handled) immediately when they are raised, or it can wait to report fatal exceptions as the debug process terminates. In the latter case Wing makes a best effort to stop before the debug process exits or at least to report the exception post-mortem, but one or both may fail if working with externally launched debug processes. In that case, we recommend using When Printed exception reporting mode.

Internal Name: debug.exception-mode

Data Specification: [unhandled, never, always, printed]

Default Value: printed

Report Logged Exceptions In When Printed Mode

Controls whether to stop on exceptions logged with logging.exception if the exception mode is set to ‘When Printed’

Internal Name: debug.stop-on-logged-exception

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Never Report

Names of builtin exceptions to never report, even if the exception is not handled. This list takes precedence over the Always Report preference and the Report Exceptions preference when it is set to a value other than Always Immediately.

Internal Name: debug.never-stop-exceptions

Data Specification: [tuple of: <type str>]

Default Value: ['SystemExit', 'GeneratorExit']

Always Report

Names of builtin exceptions to (nearly) always report. These exceptions are not reported only if they are explicitly caught by the specific subclass in the same frame in which they are raised.

Internal Name: debug.always-stop-exceptions

Data Specification: [tuple of: <type str>]

Default Value: ['AssertionError']

Pretty Print in Shells

Enable to use pprint.pprint to display values in the Python Shell and Debug Console.

Internal Name: debug.pretty-print-in-shells

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

OS Commands Encoding

Default encoding of sub-process input/output when run in the OS Commands panel. This can be overridden on a per-command basis, in each command’s properties.

Default Value: None

Use External Console

Selects whether to use the integrated Debug I/O tool for debug process input/output or an external terminal window. Use an external window if your debug process depends on details of the command prompt environment for cursor movement, color text, etc. External consoles only work for locally run code. Remote debugging always uses the Debug I/O tool. To debug code running remotely in an external console, use wingdbstub to initiate debug.

Internal Name: debug.external-console

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

External Console Waits on Exit

Determines whether to leave up the console after normal program exit, or to close the console right away in all cases. This is only relevant when running with an external native console instead of using the integrated Debug I/O tool.

Internal Name: debug.persist-console

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

External Consoles

A list of the terminal programs that are used with debug processes when running with an external console. Each is tried in turn until one is found to exist. If just the name is given, Wing will look for each first on the PATH and then in likely places. Specify the full path (starting with "/") to use a specific executable. If program arguments are specified, they must end with the argument that indicates that the rest of arguments are the program to run in the terminal. If the program name starts with $ , $ is replaced by the Wing install directory. On macOS if the program name ends is .applescript, the environment is loaded from a file before starting the debugger.

Internal Name: debug.x-terminal

Data Specification: [tuple of: <type str>]

Default Value: ['$/resources/osx/run-in-terminal.applescript', 'gnome-terminal "--title=Wing Debug Process" -x', 'xterm -T "Wing Debug Process" -e', 'konsole -T "Wing Debug Process" -e', 'rxvt -T "Wing Debug Process" -e']

• Data Display

Show __name Protected Variables

Controls whether the debugger shows protected variables (with one leadingunderscore) in the Stack Data view.

Internal Name: debug.show-protected-variables

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Show ____name Private Variables

Controls whether the debugger shows private variables (with two leadingunderscores) in the Stack Data view.

Internal Name: debug.show-private-variables

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Show ____name____ Special Variables

Controls whether the debugger shows special variables (with two leadingand two trailing underscores) in the Stack Data view.

Internal Name: debug.show-special-variables

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Show Memory Addresses

Controls whether the debugger shows memory addresses as part of the display of object instances.

Internal Name: debug.show-memory-addresses

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Huge List Threshold

Defines the length threshold over which a list, dict, or other complex type will be considered too large to show in the debugger. If this is set too large, the debugger will time out (see the Network Timeout preference)

Internal Name: debug.huge-list-threshold

Data Specification: <type int>

Default Value: 2000

Huge String Threshold

Defines the length over which a string is considered too large to fetch for display in the debugger. If this is set too large, the debugger will time out (see the Network Timeout preference).

Internal Name: debug.huge-string-threshold

Data Specification: <type int>

Default Value: 64000

Show Data Warnings

Controls whether or not time out, huge value, and error handling value errors are displayed by the debugger the first time they are encountered in each run of Wing.

Internal Name: debug.show-debug-data-warnings

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

• Data Filters

Omit Types

Lists types for which values are never shown by the debugger. The strings here are compared with type(value).__name__ and the value is omitted if a match is found.

Internal Name: debug.omit-types

Data Specification: [tuple of: <type str>]

Default Value: ('function', 'builtin_function_or_method', 'class', 'classobj', 'instance method', 'type', 'module', 'ufunc', 'cython_function_or_method', 'wrapper_descriptor', 'method_descriptor', 'methoddescriptor', 'member_descriptor', 'classmethod', 'staticmethod')

Omit Names

Defines variable/key names for which values are never shown by the debugger.

Internal Name: debug.omit-names

Data Specification: [tuple of: <type str>]

Do Not Expand

Lists types for which values should never be probed for contents. These are types that are known to crash when the debugger probes them because they contain buggy data value extraction code. These values are instead shown as an opaque value with hex object instance id and are never accessed for runtime introspection. The strings here are compared with type(value).__name__ and a value is not probed if a match is found.

Internal Name: debug.no-probe-types

Data Specification: [tuple of: <type str>]

Default Value: ('GdkColormap', 'IOBTree', 'JPackage', 'cython_function_or_method')

• Introspection

Resolve Properties

Set to show property values in the debug data views. This should be used with caution. It enables invocation of the fget() method on the property, which in some code bases can execute unwanted code, make unexpected changes to runtime state, hang on lengthy computations, trigger thread deadlocks, or crash on buggy user code while debug data is being displayed in the IDE.

Internal Name: debug.resolve-properties

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Allow Calls in Data Inspection

Enable to allow Python code and other dynamic calls to be invoked while inspecting data in the debugger, for display in any part of the IDE’s user interface. This should be used with caution because it can cause the debug process to execute unwanted code, make unexpected changes to runtime state, hang on lengthy computations, deadlock threads, or crash in buggy code.

Internal Name: debug.allow-dynamic-introspection

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Call Python ____repr____ Methods

Allow __repr__ methods implemented in Python to be invoked. Disable this if the __repr__ methods take too long to complete or fail due to other bugs.

Internal Name: debug.allow-bytecode-repr

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Inspect Base Classes

Whether to inspect base classes for class attributes. Disable this to work around crashing in packages such as openerp and odoo.

Internal Name: debug.max-base-classes

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

• Listening

Accept Debug Connections

Controls whether or not the debugger listens for connections from an externally launched program. This should be enabled when the debug program is not launched by the IDE.

Internal Name: debug.passive-listen

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

Kill Externally Launched Processes

Enable or disable terminating debug processes that were launched from outside of the IDE. When disabled, Wing just detaches from the process, leaving it running.

Internal Name: debug.enable-kill-external

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

Server Host

Determines the network interface on which the debugger listens for connections. This can be a symbolic name, an IP address, or left unspecified to indicate that the debugger should listen on all valid network interfaces on the machine. Note that when a debug session is launched from within the IDE (with the Run button), it always connects from the loopback interface (127.0.0.1)

Internal Name: debug.network-server

Data Specification: [None or <type str>]

Default Value: None

Server Port

Determines the TCP/IP port on which the IDE will listen for the connection from the debug process. This needs to be unique for each developer working on a given host. The debug process, if launched from outside of the IDE, needs to be told the value specified here using kWingHostPort inside wingdbstub.py or by WINGDB_HOSTPORT environment variable before importing wingdbstub in the debug process.

Internal Name: debug.network-port

Data Specification: [from 0 to 65535]

Default Value: 50005

• Network

Use Digests to Identify Files

Controls whether to build an inferred location map from file digest matches that are found locally when debugging files on a remote host. This allows the debugger to find files that are not in the project and were not found to be imported by static analysis, or that are still waiting to be scanned.

Internal Name: debug.use-digests-to-identify-files

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Warn About Ambigious Digest Matches

Controls whether to show a dialog when the debugger detects a remote file that matches more than one local file.

Internal Name: debug.show-multiple-local-files

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Location Map

Defines a mapping between the remote and local locations of files for host-to-host debugging. This is used only for manual remote debug configuration and is ignored when debug is controlled by a remote host configuration. For each specific IP address or IP address with wildcards (e.g. 10.1.1.*), a remote and local prefix is given. This should be used when full paths of files on the remote host do not match those for the same files on the local host. Wing assumes an external file server or synchronization protocol is in use and does not itself transfer the files.

Internal Name: debug.location-map

Data Specification: [dict; keys: <ip4 address #.#.#.#>, values: [None or [list of: [tuple length 2 of: <type str>, <type str>]]]]

Connection Keep Alive

Number of seconds between keep-alive messages sent to the debug process so that the connection doesn’t close due to inactivity. Use a value <= 0 to disable the sending of keep-alive messages

Internal Name: debug.send-keep-alive-seconds

Data Specification: <type int>

Default Value: 60

Network Timeout

Controls the amount of time that the IDE will wait for the debug process to respond before it gives up. This protects the IDE from freezing up if your program running within the debug process crashes or becomes unavailable. It must also be taken into account when network connections are slow or if sending large data values (see the Huge List Threshold and Hug String Threshold preferences).

Internal Name: debug.network-timeout

Data Specification: <type float>, <type int>

Default Value: 10

Close Connection on Timeout

Controls whether the debugger will close the connection after any data handling timeout. This reduces the potential for hanging on data handling issues, but increases the chances the debug connection will be unnecessarily closed if any inspection of data takes more than the configured timeout to complete.

Internal Name: debug.close-on-timeout

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

Allowed Hosts

Sets which hosts are allowed to connect to the debugger when it is listening for externally launched programs. Host names, specific IP numbers, or IP number dotted quad masks with * to match anything (e.g. 10.1.1.*) may be used. This is used only for manual remote debug configuration and is ignored when debug is controlled by a remote host configuration.

Internal Name: debug.passive-hosts

Data Specification: [tuple of: <type str>]

Common Attach Hosts

List of host/port combinations that should be included by default in the attach request list shown with Attach to Process in the Debug menu, in addition to those that are registered at runtime. These are used primarily with manual remote debug configuration, and are not necessary when debug is controlled by a remote host configuration. This value corresponds with kAttachPort configured in wingdbstub.py or by WINGDB_ATTACHPORT environment variable before importing wingdbstub in the debug process.

Internal Name: debug.attach-defaults

Data Specification: [tuple of: [tuple length 2 of: <type str>, [from 0 to 65535]]]

Default Value: (('127.0.0.1', 50015),)

Internal Name: debug.pretty-print-in-shells

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Auto-Restart when Switch Projects

Auto-restart the Python Shell when changing projects. When this is disabled, the Python Shell will continue to use environment from the previously opened project.

Internal Name: debug.shell-auto-restart-proj-switch

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Auto-Restart when Evaluate File

Auto-restart the Python Shell before a file is evaluated within it. When this is disabled, be aware that previously defined symbols will linger in the Python Shell environment.

Internal Name: debug.shell-auto-restart-before-eval

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Prompt to Confirm Restart

Whether to prompt when restarting the Python Shell as a result of restarting debugging.

Internal Name: debug.prompt-to-restart-python-shell-debug

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

Filter History by Entered Prefix

Enable to filter shell history traversal when something is entered prior to starting traversal. When enabled, Wing will only show history items starting with the text between the start of the current item and the caret.

Internal Name: debug.filter-shell-history

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Evaluate Only Whole Lines

Evaluate whole lines from editor rather than the exact selection, when a selection from the editor is sent to the Python Shell tool.

Internal Name: debug.shell-eval-whole-lines

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

Execute Pasted Lines in Shells Immediately

Whether to always execute immediately after text is pasted into a shell. Note that if the number of lines exceed the pasted line threshold, the lines are immediately executed.

Internal Name: debug.shell-always-execute-on-paste

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Show Editor on Exceptions in Shells

Controls whether the debugger raises source files to indicate exception locations encountered when working in the Debug Console, and other debugger tools.

Internal Name: debug.raise-from-tools

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Shells Ignore Editor Modes

Set to False so that shells will act modal in the same way as editors when working with a modal key bindings such as that for VI. When True, the shells always act as if in Insert mode.

Internal Name: debug.shells-ignore-editor-modes

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

• Advanced

Termination Model

How to terminate debug when a parent process or child process is terminated. A process group includes any all parent and child processes, up to the initially launched process, including also grand-children and any other descendent process.

Internal Name: debug.multi-process-kill-model

Data Specification: [leave-running, auto-kill-group, prompt]

Default Value: auto-kill-group

Ignore Unsynchronized Files

Controls whether or not Wing ignores files that were not saved before starting debug or that have changed since they were loaded by the debug process. Wing normally will warn of unsynchronized files since breakpoints may not be reached and stepping through the files may not work properly if lines have moved. Checking this option turns off these warnings.

Internal Name: gui.ignore-unsaved-before-action

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

Step Past importlib Frames

Controls where Wing ignores code inside of Python’s importlib machinery when stepping through code. When enabled, Step Into on an import statement continues until it reaches the top level of the module being imported (or results in ImportError or moves past the import if the module was already imported), and Step Out will skip over frames in importlib.

Internal Name: debug.ignore-import-lib

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Use sys.stdin Wrapper

Whether sys.stdin should be set a wrapper object for user input in the program being debugged. The wrapper allows debug commands, such as pause, to be executed while the program is waiting for user input. The wrapper may cause problems with multi-threaded programs that use C stdio functions to read directly from stdin and will be slower than the normal file object.However, turning this preference off means that your debug process will not pause or accept breakpoint changes while waiting for keyboard input, and any keyboard input that occurs as a side effect of commands typed in the Debug Console will happen in unmodified stdin instead (even though output will still appear in the Debug Console as always).

Internal Name: debug.use-stdin-wrapper

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

When Build Fails

Controls whether to start debugging if the defined build process fails

Internal Name: debug.debug-if-build-fails

Data Specification: [None, 0, 1]

Default Value: None

Default Watch Style

Sets the tracking style used when a value is double clicked in order to watch it. Values may be tracked by symbolic name, by object reference and attribute by name, and by direct object reference.

Internal Name: debug.default-watch-style

Data Specification: [symbolic, parent-ref, ref]

Default Value: symbolic

Move Breakpoints to Valid Lines

Whether to automatically move breakpoints to a valid position when they are placed on a line that will not be reached by the Python interpreter, such as within certain types of multi-line expressions.

Internal Name: debug.move-breakpoints

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Show Breaks Moved Dialog

Whether to show a dialog when a breakpoint is set on a different line than the selected on.

Internal Name: debug.show-breaks-moved-message

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 1

Animate Debug Data Tooltips

Whether to animate debug data tips shown when Shift-Space is pressed.

Internal Name: debug.animate-data-tips

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: 0

Use Idle Thread

Controls whether to use a thread in the debugger for idle processing.

Internal Name: debug.use-idle-thread

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: True

• Diagnostics

Debug Internals Log File

This is used to obtain verbose information about debugger internals in cases where you are having problems getting debugging working. The resulting log file can be emailed to support@wingware.com along with your bug report for interpretation. Logging can be disabled, or sent to stderr, stdout, or a file. When enabled, the debugger will run more slowly.

Internal Name: debug.logfile

Data Specification: [one of: None, [<stderr>, <stdout>], <type str>]

Default Value: None

Extremely Verbose Internal Log

This is used to turn on very verbose and detailed logging from the debugger. This should only be enabled at the request of Wingware Technical Support and will drastically slow down the debugger.

Internal Name: debug.very-verbose-log

Data Specification: <boolean: 0 or 1>

Default Value: False

Python Shell Debug Log

This is used to obtain verbose information about the Python Shell internals in cases where you are having problems getting it working. The resulting log file can be emailed to support@wingware.com along with your bug report for interpretation. Logging can be disabled, or sent to stderr, stdout, or a file. When enabled, the Python Shell will run more slowly.
