class DebugClientBase(object):
    """
    Class implementing the client side of the debugger.

    It provides access to the Python interpeter from a debugger running in
    another process whether or not the Qt event loop is running.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The client may send any other lines at any other time which should be
    interpreted as program output.

    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.
    
    <b>Note</b>: This class is meant to be subclassed by individual
    DebugClient classes. Do not instantiate it directly.
