How to debug Python code?

Question

I was looking for a tool to debug Python code. I couldn’t find one that’s easy enough. Either debugging functionality is „hidden“ (means: not existent) or it’s so complicated to go through the code step by step. You’re my last hope before I feel forced to use Eclipse.

Answer 1

Assuming you are using Windows, Geany is a very simple IDE to use. Otherwise CMD is also very useful if you are familiar with it.

Answer 2

Your assumption is 50% correct. I use both, Windows and Mac. But for private, I prefer Mac.
And does Geany (or any IDE) include the capabillity to debug? That‘s what I thought until yesterday. But unfortunately, it doesn‘t look like.
Thank you for your answer, I will have a look at it.

Answer 3

There are certain IDEs that have debugging capabilities as well as libraries. You can have a look at the wiki:
