One method: install ipython (another python shell, but with some useful extra features) and then run the program inside ipython in debug mode: --------- $ ipython In [1]: run -d filename.py Breakpoint 1 at /path/to/filename.py:3 NOTE: Enter 'c' at the ipdb> prompt to start your script. > <string>(1)<module>() ipdb> -------- (You type c to continue) -------- ipdb> c > /path/to/filename.py(3)<module>() 2 1---> 3 import sys, os 4 import subprocess -------- and you can see you're now on line 3. Press h for help to see what commands you can type. Press n for next line if you want to step. Press s to step into a function when it's being called.
