pdb CLI doesn't handle incorrect arguments properly #108791
DescriptionBug report
Checklist
- I am confident this is a bug in CPython, not a bug in a third-party project
- I have searched the CPython issue tracker,
and am confident this bug has not been reported before
CPython versions tested on:
3.11, 3.12, CPython main branch
Operating systems tested on:
Linux
Output from running 'python -VV' on the command line:
Python 3.13.0a0 (heads/main:578ebc5d5f, Sep 1 2023, 20:48:35) [GCC 10.2.1 20210110]
A clear and concise description of the bug:
pdb module produces large traceback instead of short error message if invoked with invalid command line option. This happens because it doesn't handle exceptions that can occur in getopt.getopt, as it typically done.
$ ./python -m pdb -c

A similar situation is with nonexistant modules and directory names. In the first case an exception that occurs in _ModuleTarget.check is printed to stderr with its traceback. In the second case directory name is 'successfully' checked by _ScriptTarget.check call, and debugger is ran on invalid target.

AttributeError: 'Pdb' object has no attribute 'botframe'. Did you mean: 'curframe'?
I'm working on a fix.
