Please tell me which features you wish your current Python debugger had. I'm creating a new Python IDE/debugger and am looking forward to challenging requests!
回答1:
Forgive me for the shameless functional programming plug, but...
The ability to step backwards.
回答2:
I use winpdb and I like it very much. I think a new debugger would need to have at least its features. It has some GUI nuisiances though, so maybe you fix it or take some ideas from it to write your own.
Winpdb is a platform independent graphical GPL Python debugger with support for remote debugging over a network, multiple threads, namespace modification, embedded debugging, encrypted communication and is up to 20 times faster than pdb.
Features:
- GPL license. Winpdb is Free Software.
- Compatible with CPython 2.3 through 2.6 and Python 3000
- Compatible with wxPython 2.6 through 2.8
- Platform independent, and tested on Ubuntu Gutsy and Windows XP.
- User Interfaces: rpdb2 is console based, while winpdb requires wxPython 2.6 or later.

The #1 debug feature for me (that my current IDE, Wing, does happen to have) is the ability to drop into a python interpreter and run arbitrary python code when at a breakpoint. Reminds me of using Smalltalk back in the day.
Ability to execute code in local scope is incredibly useful, especially in contrast to working in C++ when it can sometimes be a fight to inspect a local variable.

Ability to step through expression evaluation and intuitive visualization of call stack like in Thonny (http://thonny.org)
