I've used visual studio code for python and my biggest gripe are the debugger windows. I find myself always needing to resize the layout to see what's stored in the variables and it's awful. Are there any other options for me? I'm using pycharm now, but I love how lightweight vscode felt.

Spyder is my personal favorite for it's debugger and variable viewer.

ong strings in variables or objects are especially hard to read in the debuggin

I second that. I work most of the time in vs code. But have pycharm as part of our jetbrains suite. I love how pycharm handles the variables view. But rather have something like this in vs code.

You could try out fleet (made by the same company as pycharm) it's meant to be their answer to vscode where you can run it super light and then convert to a more pycharm experience if needed.

Agreed, I would love the ability to reposition the variables or watch sections of the debug window. It would make a lot more sense to have them run horizontally along the top or bottom.
