Simpler way to put PDB breakpoints in Python code?

Question

Just a convenience question. I\'ve been a bit spoiled with debuggers in IDEs like Visual Studio and XCode. I find it a bit clumsy to have to type import pdb; pdb.set_t

Answer 1

You could use Vim with the Python-Mode plugin or Emacs with the Elpy plugin.

These plugins give you breakpoints with easy keystrokes (\ b in Vim and C-c C-u b in Emacs) plus many other features from heavy-weight IDEs (code folding, refactoring, linting, etc.) - all within a light-weight terminal-based text editor.
