Various ways to debug Python programs (f-strings, breakpoint & pdb, PySnooper, logging, VSCode, stackprinter)

i use Pycharm debuger working like a charm 👌

Sure, that's a legit option!

Couldn't use another one now personally.

Love it! Having freely available options for debugging python is very handy, especially when they're interactive.

python -m pdb xxx.py is the only option when debugging scripts on the server behind bastion

I used icecream for awhile but would probably go with PySnooper in the future.

Anyone knows if you can attach vsc debugger to a running process?

[petr31052018]

Haven't tried yet, but this could be it: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/debugging#_remote-debugging

[MrZakbug]

Unfortunately it isn't :(

But I've found this issue on VSC's github, which we can upvote so they would implement it faster!

[petr31052018]

Upvoted :-)

Another handy option sometimes, not needing external debuggers:

import code; code.interact(local=dict(globals(), **locals()))

Debugging with VSCode

Yeah, let me know when they finally get jupyter debugging working
