Slightly off-topic: Does anyone have a recommendation for a pdb alternative?

I’ve found most of the alternatives have a high (for my use case) learning curve. For real debugging I use VSCode but it’s nice to be able to quickly throw breakpoints around.

There's some interesting projects like pubd, but I'd massively recommend ipdb. Its basically what I wish pdb was- i.e syntax highlighting, multilinear editing, completion hints etc

I like pdbpp. Make sure to install from source as there hasn’t been a release in a while.

If you’re an iPython user, you may enjoy ipdb: https://pypi.org/project/ipdb/
