FAQPage Schema
How do I debug Python code using pdb?▼

Debug Python code using pdb by following step-by-step instructions to set breakpoints, inspect variables, and trace execution to identify and fix issues quickly within a CLI or TUI environment.

What is post-mortem debugging in Python?▼

Post-mortem debugging in Python allows you to inspect the state of a program at the exact point of failure. It facilitates analysis of program crashes by dropping into an interactive debugger after an exception occurs.

How do I set up remote debugging with debugpy for a long-running process?▼

Remote debugging with debugpy enables you to debug long-running Python processes that are difficult to restart or interrupt. It attaches a debugger to the running process over a network connection.

Do I need prior Python knowledge to use the debugpy guide?▼

Yes, using the debugpy guide requires knowledge of Python and basic debugging concepts. It is ideal for developers troubleshooting code within a TUI, CLI, or IDE environment.

When should I use debugpy instead of pdb for Python debugging?▼

Use debugpy for remote debugging of long-running processes or when integrating with an IDE, while pdb is well-suited for local, step-by-step debugging and post-mortem analysis in a CLI or TUI.
