<h2>DebugClientBase</h2>
<p>
    Class implementing the client side of the debugger.
</p><p>
    It provides access to the Python interpeter from a debugger running in
    another process whether or not the Qt event loop is running.
</p><p>
    The protocol between the debugger and the client assumes that there will be
    a single source of debugger commands and a single source of Python
    statements.  Commands and statement are always exactly one line and may be
    interspersed.
</p><p>
    The protocol is as follows.  First the client opens a connection to the
    debugger and then sends a series of one line commands.  A command is either
    &gt;Load&lt;, &gt;Step&lt;, &gt;StepInto&lt;, ... or a Python statement.
    See DebugProtocol.py for a listing of valid protocol tokens.
</p><p>
    A Python statement consists of the statement to execute, followed (in a
    separate line) by &gt;OK?&lt;. If the statement was incomplete then the
    response is &gt;Continue&lt;. If there was an exception then the response
    is &gt;Exception&lt;. Otherwise the response is &gt;OK&lt;. The reason
    for the &gt;OK?&lt; part is to provide a sentinal (ie. the responding
    &gt;OK&lt;) after any possible output as a result of executing the command.
</p><p>
    The client may send any other lines at any other time which should be
    interpreted as program output.
</p><p>
    If the debugger closes the session there is no response from the client.
    The client may close the session at any time as a result of the script
    being debugged closing or crashing.
</p><p>
    <b>Note</b>: This class is meant to be subclassed by individual
    DebugClient classes. Do not instantiate it directly.
