Ask HN: how to debug python... I miss visual studio

Having moved to python only recently at home from C# I'm trying to adjust my programming style, however there seems very little in way of an introduction as to how to debug in python.

pyDev seems to be the standard and using frameworks like Flask gives nice compile time errors but really I miss the real-time debugging with break points...

how do YOU debug in real-time with python?

I typically don't but I have used http://winpdb.org/ in the past.

Wing IDE Pro gives you an excellent debug environment (the best I have seen)...
