Software:Winpdb
From HandWiki
Winpdb is a remote Python debugger originally created by Nir Aides in 2005.[1] It has been maintained by Philippe Fremy since March 30, 2018 as a fork called Winpdb-reborn licensed under GNU GPLv2+. The project is currently stopped.[2][3]
Description
According to the archived Winpdb website, "Winpdb is a platform independent GPL Python debugger with support for multiple threads, namespace modification, embedded debugging, encrypted communication and is up to 20 times faster than pdb."[1][3]
The only dependency needed is wxPython for the GUI as Winpdb acts as a front end to the text-based RPDB2. Winpdb can run on Linux, Windows, and MacOS.[4]
