It abstracts away platform-specific debugger invocation and configuration, allowing test harnesses and automation to attach debuggers consistently across different environments. The package depends on mozinfo and mozshellutil to handle system detection and shell utilities.\n\nIt is intended for developers and test engineers working within Mozilla's testing ecosystem or similar native debugging scenarios. The package has been stable since its initial release in 2015 and supports Python 3.8 through 3.13, though its aging maintenance status suggests it may not be actively developed beyond bug fixes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are working within Mozilla's testing infrastructure or need to automate native debugger attachment in a similar context. The low install friction, lack of vulnerabilities, and broad Python version support make it safe to adopt. However, the aging maintenance status suggests it is stable but not actively developed\u2014verify that it meets your specific debugger and platform requirements before relying on it for new projects."},"id":"mozdebug","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mozdebug","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mozdebug.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mozdebug/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-01-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"mozdebug","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Utilities for running applications under native code debuggers intended for use in Mozilla testing"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":166047,"position":10511,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.0"}
