What is the right way to debug in iPython notebook?

Question

As I know, %debug magic can do debug within one cell.

However, I have function calls across multiple cells.

For example,

You can use ipdb inside jupyter with:

from IPython.core.debugger import Tracer; Tracer()()

Edit: the functions above are deprecated since IPython 5.1. This is the new approach:

from IPython.core.debugger import set_trace

Add set_trace() where you need a breakpoint. Type help for ipdb commands when the input field appears.
