Python Debugger (pdb + debugpy) Overview Three tools, picked by situation: | Tool | When | |---|---| | breakpoint() + pdb | Local, interactive, simplest. Add breakpoint() in the source, run normally, get a REPL at that line. | | python -m pdb | Launch an existing script under pdb with no source edits. Useful for quick poking. | | debugpy | Remote / headless / "attach to already-running process." Talks DAP, scriptable from terminal, works for long-lived processes (gateway, daemon, PTY children). | Start with breakpoint(). It's the cheapest thing that works. When to Use - A test fails and the traceback doesn't reveal why a value is wrong - You need to step through a function and watch a collection mutate - A long-running process (hermes gateway, tuigateway) misbehaves and you can't restart it - Post-mortem: an exception fired in prod-ish code and you want to inspect locals at the crash site - A subprocess / child (Python SlashWorker, PTY bridge worker) is the actual bug site Don't use fo
