[lldb-dev] debug .lldbinit with python script?

[Todd Fiala]

Hi Jun,

Yeah I agree our python script error reporting is a bit weak at the moment
(or I wasn't logging the right log channels).  What we did when we had to
import a complicated script was to first run our script through a lint tool
(like pylint) prior to feeding it to lldb.  At least that way you'll get
feedback if the script has any blatant issues in it.
