Debugging in Python

pdb - the Python Debugger

Invoke pbd from terminal to debug the entire script.
```
python -m pdb mytest.py
```
Insert import pdb; pdb.set_trace() in a specific line of the script.
Insert breakpoint() in the script. The built-in breakpoint() is a equivalent way of import pdb; pdb.set_trace().
Commands: c(ontinue), s(tep), n(ext), r(eturn), j(ump), q(uit) .. more.

Install PuDB by pip install pudb or conda install -c conda-forge pudb.

Similar to pdb,

Debug the entire script with:

pudb mytest.py

python -m pudb mytest.py

Insert in a specific line with:

from pudb import set_trace; set_trace()

import pudb; pu.db

Integrate pudb with breakpoint() function. Add:
```
export PYTHONBREAKPOINT="pudb.set_trace"
```
in your .bashrc or .zshrc. Then use breakpoint() in your script.
Commands: tyep ‘?’ in the console to check the conmand list.
