π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so ipdb3 is a standalone Python 3 debugger, and she's based on IPython π like, that's her whole thing.
she's giving the same energy as the pdb debugger from the Python standard library β same family, same bloodline π β but with additional IPython features on top, because why settle?
those extra features include:
- improved tracebacks β¨
- syntax highlighting π
literally the debugger equivalent of showing up with a full face of makeup while everyone else is in their pyjamas. slay. periodt. π
π SEE ALSO π
if you wanna go read about pdb (her less glamorous cousin, no shade, she's still valid π), the documentation lives here:
http://docs.python.org/library/pdb.html- or locally at
/usr/share/doc/python/html/library/pdb.html
and that's the whole page, angel π no cap, that's every single line accounted for. this was ipdb3(1) β from the General Commands Manual, footer stamped with ipdb3(1), mwah π go debug something iconic. πβ¨
