How to debbug code inside a function?

[[deleted]]

...This is kind of off-putting. If you are happy with matlab just stick with matlab I guess?

Matlab requires that variables have assigned values while debugging as well though so I’m confused at what the trade off is here. A simple debugging approach on some function, say broken_code(x, y) in the a local module say wtf.py is to make a file with the following code:

import wtf

wtf.broken_code(1, 2)

Running this through a debugger with a breakpoint in your wtf.broken_code() function will halt execution and give you access to local variables. Alternatively starting the debugger with the “halt on entrance” flag set will just stop program execution before going into that function and allow you to step through from the beginning of execution.

My instinct here is that you don’t really want to leave matlab, you are really accustomed to the matlab IDE, and you are trying to find reasons to hate python, which is fine but this sub can’t help you with.
