wdb is a browser-based Python debugger built on a client-server architecture using WebSockets, with the server implemented in Tornado. It provides step-by-step debugging, breakpoints, in-program code execution, and code injection to pause running processes, fully supporting multithreaded and multiprocess programs.

Use cases

• debug python programs in a browser instead of pdb
• step through python code with breakpoints from a web interface
• debug multithreaded or multiprocess python applications
• remotely debug a python process running on another machine
• pause a running python process via code injection
• trace exceptions in python code automatically

When to choose

• you want a graphical, browser-based alternative to pdb
• you need to debug multithreaded or multiprocess python programs
• you want to debug a program on one machine from a browser on another
• you need to pause and inspect an already-running python process

When to avoid

• you need a debugger for languages other than python
• you want an actively developed tool with recent updates and modern python support
• you prefer a terminal-based debugger like pdb or ipdb
• you need debugging inside an IDE with integrated tooling
