ipdb is a Python library that integrates the IPython debugger with the standard pdb interface, providing tab completion, syntax highlighting, and better tracebacks. It offers set_trace breakpoints, post-mortem debugging, and script entry points for debugging Python programs.
Use cases
- debug python scripts with ipython features
- set breakpoints with tab completion and syntax highlighting
- post-mortem debugging after an exception
- debug a python module from the command line
- launch debugger automatically when an exception is raised
- conditional breakpoints in python code
When to choose
- you want pdb's interface with IPython's tab completion and syntax highlighting
- you need post-mortem debugging equivalent to %debug
- you want conditional breakpoints or configurable context lines
When to avoid
- you don't use IPython and are happy with plain pdb
- you need a graphical debugger
- you're debugging non-Python code
