Glyph<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Python</span></a> folks: if you want an interactive debugger, what do you use, and how do you set it up? Particularly on unfamiliar projects with something like tox/nox/Just which gets between you and the running process. Bonus points if you have a functioning <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Emacs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emacs</span></a> integration.</p><p>In principle I love the idea of interactive debuggers. In practice I have been burned so many times by configuration, path, and terminal interaction issues that I have an almost instinctual recoil from anything based on pdb.</p>
