This comes up every now and again. There are a number of visual debugging tools for Python, but a lot of people don't bother with them. I don't, though I've been meaning to have a closer look into the options. https://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonDebuggingTools There are full-fat IDEs like PyCharm, Eclipse PyDev, Komodo, Wing, or Visual Studio. There's Spyder, which is reasonably popular in the scientific Python ecosystem. I think there are VSCode plugins for Python debugging. And there is even an experimental debugger for Jupyter now! Just to give you some pointers as to where to look. -- Thomas -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
