pdb++ (pdbpp) is a drop-in replacement for Python's built-in pdb debugger that adds features like colorful TAB completion, syntax highlighting, sticky mode, and new interactive commands. It installs as a pdb module so tools like pytest automatically use it.
Use cases
- debug python programs with a better pdb
- get syntax highlighting in the debugger
- use tab completion at the pdb prompt
- improve pytest --pdb debugging experience
- step through code with sticky mode showing the whole function
- replace pdb without changing any code
When to choose
- you debug Python code interactively and want a nicer pdb experience
- you want pytest --pdb to drop into an enhanced debugger
- you want a drop-in pdb replacement with zero code changes
When to avoid
- you need a graphical debugger or IDE-integrated debugging
- you need remote debugging out of the box
- you depend on exact pdb behavior and cannot tolerate any deviations
