FAQPage Schema

How do I debug Python code in production where I cannot modify the source?▼

Python debugging in restricted production environments is handled by remotely attaching to headless processes. You can diagnose and fix code errors interactively without altering the deployed source files.

What's the best way to investigate a Python exception after it has occurred?▼

Post-mortem debugging allows you to investigate a Python exception after it occurs. You can inspect the program state and variables interactively to diagnose the root cause of the failure.

Can I use breakpoint() and pdb for interactive Python debugging?▼

Yes, interactive Python debugging is supported using breakpoint() and pdb. These tools enable you to pause script execution, inspect variables, and step through local code to resolve errors.

How does debugpy work with remote and headless Python processes?▼

Debugpy enables remote debugging by attaching a client to a running headless Python process. This allows you to step through code and inspect state interactively from a separate development environment.

Does this Python debugging approach require any external dependencies?▼

No external dependencies are required to use these Python debugging capabilities. The Skill leverages built-in tools like breakpoint() and pdb, alongside debugpy, to facilitate troubleshooting.

When should I use post-mortem debugging instead of setting a breakpoint?▼

Use post-mortem debugging when an unexpected exception crashes your Python script and you need to inspect the final state. Breakpoints are better for pausing execution at specific anticipated lines.
