trepan3k - a gdb-like debugger for Python 3¶
trepan3k is a gdb-like debugger for Python. It is a rewrite of pdb from the ground up.
A command-line interface (CLI) is provided as well as an remote access interface over TCP/IP.
See the Tutorial for how to use. See ipython-trepan for using this in ipython or an ipython notebook.
This package is for Python 3. See trepan2 for the same code modified to work with Python 2.
An Emacs interface is available via realgud.
