=========

Bazaar has a few facilities to help debug problems by going into pdb_, the
 
500
Python debugger.

.. _pdb: http://docs.python.org/lib/debugger-commands.html
 
503
 
 
504
If the ``BZR_PDB`` environment variable is set 
 
505
then bzr will go into pdb post-mortem mode when an unhandled exception
 
506
occurs.
 
507
 
 
508
If you send a SIGQUIT signal to bzr, which can be done by pressing C-\ on Unix,
 
509
bzr will go into the debugger immediately.  You can continue execution by
 
510
typing ``c``.  This can be disabled if necessary by setting the
 
511
environment variable ``BZR_SIGQUIT_PDB=0``.
