问题
I am currently running a django app under python3 through kubernetes by going through skaffold dev. I have hot reload working with the Python source code. Is it currently possible to do interactive debugging with python on kubernetes?
For example,
def index(request):
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
return render(request, 'index.html', {})
Usually, outside a container, hitting the endpoint will drop me in the (pdb) shell.
In the current setup, I have set stdin and tty to true in the Deployment file. The code does stop at the breakpoint but it doesn't give me access to the (pdb) shell.

There is a kubectl command that allows you to attach to a running container in a pod:
kubectl attach <pod-name> -c <container-name> [-n namespace] -i -t
-i (default:false) Pass stdin to the container
-t (default:false) Stdin is a TTY
It should allow you to interact with the debugger in the container. Probably you may need to adjust your pod to use a debugger, so the following article might be helpful:
- How to use PDB inside a docker container.
There is also telepresence tool that helps you to use different approach of application debugging:
Using telepresence allows you to use custom tools, such as a debugger and IDE, for a local service and provides the service full access to ConfigMap, secrets, and the services running on the remote cluster.
Use the
--swap-deploymentoption to swap an existing deployment with the Telepresence proxy. Swapping allows you to run a service locally and connect to the remote Kubernetes cluster. The services in the remote cluster can now access the locally running instance.

It might be worth looking into Rookout which allows in-prod live debugging of Python on Kubernetes pods without restarts or redeploys. You lose path-forcing etc but you gain loads of flexibility for effectively simulating breakpoint-type stack traces on the fly.
