IPython pdb

ipdb integrates the powerful features of the IPython shell into Python's standard pdb debugger. This brings significant improvements to your debugging workflow, including:

• Tab completion for variables and methods.
• Syntax highlighting for better code readability.
• Improved tracebacks that are easier to understand.
• Enhanced introspection capabilities.

Using ipdb is straightforward. Simply import it and use ipdb.set_trace() to set a breakpoint anywhere in your code. You can also use ipdb.pm() for post-mortem debugging after an exception.

import ipdb
ipdb.set_trace() # Set a breakpoint

# Or use post-mortem debugging
ipdb.pm()

Configuration options allow setting the number of context lines displayed via config files or environment variables. For debugging exceptions automatically, use the launch_ipdb_on_exception context manager or the @iex decorator.
