This module is an extension of the pdb module of the standard library. It is meant to be fully compatible with its predecessor, yet it introduces a number of new features to make your debugging experience as nice as possible.
pdb++ features include:
- colorful TAB completion of Python expressions (through fancycompleter)
- optional syntax highlighting of code listings (through Pygments)
- sticky mode
- several new commands to be used from the interactive (Pdb++) prompt
- smart command parsing (hint: have you ever typed r or c at the prompt to print the value of some variable?)
- additional convenience functions in the pdb module, to be used from your program
Personal opinion: I don't like
pdb and debuggers in general. Whenever I open a debugger - it means that I have a really big problem. But, this one seems like the best solution (except PyCharm, of course).https://github.com/pdbpp/pdbpp
