Bug Description
Winpdb supports Python 3, but its main interface is not yet compatible with Python 3. However, the included remote debugger, rpdb2, _is_. One can debug a Python 3 program by running rpdb2 with python3, then attaching to that process from winpdb, but this is tedious and clumsy. (First, we have to create a link to /usr/lib/
It would be very helpful to provide built in Python 3 support in some fashion. An additional rpdb2-python3 launcher (with the necessary symlinks) would help a lot, and a flag for winpdb that causes it to use that launcher itself would be perfect.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
