pudb VS pdbpp

I simply use the superb pudb. Press ctrl+e to open the current file at the current line in your editor.

such a waste of time...

To this day, I'm baffled by the dynamic language folks who cannot get they head around how strictness/rigor (via a good expressive type system) actually makes maintenance easier and more importantly: cheaper.

I use the very under-rated pudb in an adjacent terminal window.

I've been using PuDB for a while now.

I think it is also worth mentioning pudb here

Most of the time I simply use icecream (a much better version of print()), and sometimes, I use pudb (a visual debugger) for tougher/trickier bugs.

For a quick view etc I usually fire up pudb in an adjacent terminal window but for a detailed/heavy debugging session I fire up VS Code (with the vim plugin of course). I have used vi/vim for 37+ years now so it is part of my DNA and use VS Code only for it's great vim + debugging facility.

Two that I haven’t seen here and have saved me tons of time are pudb, a great debugger and petl a simple powerful ETL toolkit.

If you want to debug Python then pudb is simply superb. Vim users don't really want or need to "debug inside of vim" do they? We usually are happy to use multiple command line and other tools in adjacent windows. Also, you can just step around and view variables etc in pudb and then press ctrl+e to edit that file in vim, then q to restart debugger.

Why not just use Python’s built-in pdb debugger or another existing one like ipdb or pdbpp?

I like pdbpp. Make sure to install from source as there hasn’t been a release in a while.

pdbpp: Improved pdb boltons: assorted python addtions twisted: event driven networking framework sorcery: Dark magic in python, things know where+how they are being called, helps reducing boilerplate sh: Better alternative for subprocess module, much more pythonic taskipy: npm run scipt_name like functionality snoop: pdb lite, record+replay function steps birdseye: graphical debugger remote-pdb: easy pdb from inside containers typer: wrapper around click for simpler code for CLIs arrow: Always TZ aware datetimes, plus more features more-itertools: more functions for iterators pydantic: data validation + dataclasses loguru: better logging notifiers: sending notifications from python

If you want to use pdbpp, install it into your Python environment you're using the debugger from and it'll automatically hook itself into pdb with no additional setup.

I love pdbpp

pdbpp feels like getting super powers over using pdb

Most of the tools and libraries I use have been mentioned, but I haven’t seen pdb++ brought up. It’s like ipython for debugging!

I like to use PDB++ which is a drop in replacement for PDB
