Language: it
Type: Talk

Abstract: Python is a wonderful programming language and in the main stream language, Python includes a powerful debugger. It is easy to add a breakpoint in your code and inspect the local variables of your code.

Just with some commands you can navigate in your source code and debug it when you have an exception. What can we do with this debugger, I will present a small demonstration with an existing code.

GDB, the GNU Debugger, is an other debugger but this one is low-level, you can debug the source of CPython and your favourites C extensions, we will see how to debug your code.

PDB and GDB are awesome, you need to know them if you desire to be a Python expert.

You will travel from PDB to GDB via ipdb, pdbpp and some other fun debugger.

And I have a question for you, did you ever consider remote debugging of your Python application?
