I should try ipdb. I've been using pdb (which I usually do using postmortem pdb.pm(), after my program crashes). But try out from IPython import embed; embed() instead of pdb.set_trace() It starts a whole IPython interpreter right there with all variables loaded. I like it because I can do inspection, plotting etc etc.
