thanks for recommending this talk, Meir. It's only 40 minutes long, it's
interesting, and I learned quite a bit from it. pdb seems powerful and useful,
and it gave me some ideas for potential improvements to the Perl debuggers.

Regards,

There's also ipdb which has add autocompletion and colours to the same interface.

just run `pip install ipdb` and you'll have it.

Hi!

I really think that if you want to spend time on improving your debugging skills, you should better stick with this:

Is a $200 course really worth it to learn to debug? Does that course
even address Python, which is fundamentally different than C / Java?

At the time of writing it was free to watch.
It might still be, take a look around the site.

Thanks. I also noticed that the course description does in fact
mention Python, as in "build several automated debugging tools in
Python". It doesn't mention that the tools are for debugging Python
code, though I suppose that is implicit.

Since the course mentioned Python (but no other languages) as a prerequisite,
I suppose you are right. But in general, you should be aware that gdb has an
embedded Python interpreter (since version 7 I think) so you can automate C or
C++ debugging actions in Python. Also, there's a script you can download -- I
don't remember where from -- which allows you to debug Python programs in gdb;
this is very useful if you're working with extensions. With this script, you
can e.g. see the full mixed-language call stack, and examine variables in each
language etc.

Have fun,
Shai.

That is really interesting, though I suppose a natural progression of
what one would do with Python. Thanks for mentioning it, I'll look
into it.
