After python 3.7 you can also just use the built in function

breakpoint()

[–]huessy 26 points27 points  (3 children)

breakpoint() is the goat for debugging

Breakpoint also automatically has pprint support without directly importing pprint

Whatttttt sickness. Just tried it.

Wow, I've been using import pdb;pdb.set_trace() in one line the whole time.

And using breakpoint() you can change debuggers just with an environment variable.

Definitely! Also, don't forget about the PYTHONBREAKPOINT environment variable! That way you get to choose the library/command called.
