"""Remote Debugger.

Introduction
============

This is a remote debugger for Celery tasks running in multiprocessing
pool workers.  Inspired by a lost post on dzone.com.

Usage
-----

.. code-block:: python

    from celery.contrib import rdb
    from celery import task

    @task()
    def add(x, y):
        result = x + y
        rdb.set_trace()
        return result

Environment Variables
=====================

.. envvar:: CELERY_RDB_HOST

``CELERY_RDB_HOST``
-------------------

    Hostname to bind to.  Default is '127.0.0.1' (only accessible from
    localhost).

.. envvar:: CELERY_RDB_PORT

``CELERY_RDB_PORT``
-------------------

    Base port to bind to.  Default is 6899.
    The debugger will try to find an available port starting from the
    base port.  The selected port will be logged by the worker.
