PUDB(1)

💅 PUDB — the manual, but make it cute

okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual, section 1, the one and only pudb page 🫶 this is the whole thing, no skips, no gatekeeping. let's go ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

pudb — a full-screen, console-based Python3 debugger 🐛💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pudb [options] script-to-run [script-arguments]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page documents the pudb command, briefly, like a little intro slide before the main character walks in 💅

PuDB is a full-screen, console-based visual debugger for Python. no cap.

its whole goal? giving you all the niceties of modern GUI-based debuggers, but in a more lightweight and keyboard-friendly package. PuDB lets you debug your code right where you write it and test it — in a terminal. literally the vibes of the excellent (but nowadays ancient) DOS-based Turbo Pascal or C tools, fr fr. if you've worked with those, PuDB's UI might look familiar 👀 iconic lineage tbh.

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -h, --help — show a summary of options. the classic "help me pls" move 🙈
• -c, --continue — let the script run until an exception occurs or a breakpoint is hit. just let it cook 🔥
• -s, --steal-output — no description given in the original, so it stays mysterious. she's giving main character energy with zero explanation 💀
• -m, --module — debug as a module or package instead of as a script.
• --pre-run=COMMAND — run COMMAND before each program run. warm-up ritual ✨
• -v, --version — show the program's version number and exit. quick vibe check 👑
