Omniscient Debugging

Omniscient Debugging. I find it hard to believe that you can do this - it's just plain black magic so far as I'm concerned. Cool beyond words, though.

Yeah, that was cool. Bil visited our university last year (or two years ago?) and demonstrated this.

When I asked him how it worked, he said it takes Java bytecode and puts debugging commands between your program statements. I asked him if it was doable with Python also, and he sait it wouldn't be hard, afterall Python also compiles to bytecode before executing it.

Codeguide integrates this in a modern IDE that even supports 1.5 features in a 1.4 backwards compatible manner.
