DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the winpdb and rpdb2 commands.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
winpdb is a GUI frontend to rpdb2, a remote debugger for python, which is capable to debug threads- and curses-based code.

included below.

-d --debuggee
Start debuggee and break into it, without starting a debugger console.
