Answer 1

Setting a breakpoint

You can do the folowing and just run your code normally:

class A:
    def func(self):
        import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
        pass

Having the import and the set_trace() command on the same line allows for easy cleanup.

Navigating

A debugging prompt should appear when you run your program. Use the pdb shortcuts to step the debugger:

• s(tep) : Execute the current line, stop at the first possible occasion (either in a function that is called or on the next line in the current function).
• n(ext) : Continue execution until the next line in the current function is reached or it returns. (The difference between next and step is that step stops inside a called function, while next executes called functions at (nearly) full speed, only stopping at the next line in the current function.)
• unt(il) : Continue execution until the line with the line number greater than the current one is reached or when returning from current frame.
• r(eturn) : Continue execution until the current function returns.
• c(ont(inue)) : Continue execution, only stop when a breakpoint is encountered.
