Running commands from a file in PDB

I would like to run a set of python commands from a file in the PDB debugger. Related to this, can I set up a file that is automatically run when PDB starts?

Pdb contained a bug previously that made this not possible

This has been fixed for python 3.13 and appears to be back ported to 3.11 and 3.12 per the discussion on this pull request

make a subclass of pdb.Pdb and put a call to your extra stuff in the __init__

alternatively

pdb.Pdb() looks for a .pdbrc file, so you may be able to put your stuff in there

    # Read $HOME/.pdbrc and ./.pdbrc
    self.rcLines = []
    if 'HOME' in os.environ:
        envHome = os.environ['HOME']
        try:
            rcFile = open(os.path.join(envHome, ".pdbrc"))
        except IOError:
            pass
        else:
            for line in rcFile.readlines():
                self.rcLines.append(line)
            rcFile.close()
    try:
        rcFile = open(".pdbrc")
    except IOError:
        pass
    else:
        for line in rcFile.readlines():
            self.rcLines.append(line)
        rcFile.close()
