Hello Dan, If the debugger in Spyder is limiting for you, you can try WinPdb - it is not quite supported, but rather well written. Alternatively, you can use some 'real' Python IDE with powerful debugger. I prefer PyCharm (free version is ok) for that.
But when I once asked on local Python meetup "Guys, which debugger do you prefer?", most of audience told - print or logging is enough except really complex situations ;) On Wednesday, March 9, 2016 at 8:02:24 PM UTC+3, Dan Codiga wrote: > > I am a scientific programmer with many years of Matlab experience, and > have been using Spyder over the past several months as I learn Python and > transition to using it instead of Matlab.
