Suggestions for Python debugging tools?

Yesterday I made a simulation using Python. I had a few difficulties with variables and debugging.

Is there any software for Python, which provides a decent debugger?

+6 A:

You can check out the python debugger pdb, which is included in the standard library: http://docs.python.org/library/pdb.html

I'd recommend pydb and ipython for interactive debugging.

Both have screencasts available at showmedo.com

Is there a tutorial you'd recommend for getting started?

Yup, the showmedo screencasts.

Komodo IDE (not the free Komodo Edit) comes with a debugger. I haven't used it in over a year, but it was good back then (v 3, IIRC).

Komodo has definitely been nice for debugging.

How does the debugger differ in Komodo Edit from the one in Komodo IDE?For me, the Komodo Edit solved three indentation problems fast taday.

Maybe they've added it in the newer version. It definitely didn't have one 18 months ago!

There is an Eclipse plug-in for Python which supports debugging, among other tools. See the The Tutorial to start with, and the Website for download. Off course you will need to get Eclipse as well.
