An simple tutorial on how to effectively use the python debugger (pdb)
I wrote this tutorial awhile ago for a local python talk and there was a resurgence of interest so I thought I would share it with the python community here. If you have any questions about the tutorial, let me know! Also, if you think something needs to be improved I welcome any issues or PRs :) More on reddit.com

When to use the Python PDB module?
You can use it when you need more options than the 'print' command provides to figure out what's going on inside the code โ€” for example, when you don't want to change the source code. PDB gives you a way to, let's say, open up the application in a certain spot so you can have a look at your variables, call stack, or whatever you need to see, set conditional breakpoints, step through the source code line by line, etc.

How do I run a PDB in Python?
The easiest way to use a Python debugger (PDB) is to call it in the code youโ€™re working on by adding import pdb; pdb.set_trace(). As soon as the interpreter reaches this line, youโ€™ll receive a command prompt on the terminal where youโ€™re running the program. It is a general Python prompt, but with some new commands.

What are the benefits of using Python PDB?
The built-in debugger is one of the significant advantages of Python. With PDB, not only can you look through the code during debugging, but also run the code written in the command line or even affect the process by changing the variables' value. In particular, it's easier to set breakpoints. There's no need to put them in the source code and go step-by-step to the function you need or to find the library source file and change it. Thus, PDB helps save development time.

Python Debugger โ€“ Python pdb - GeeksforGeeks
November 4, 2022 - To start debugging within the program just insert import pdb, pdb.set_trace() commands. Run your script normally, and execution will stop where we have introduced a breakpoint. So basically we are hard coding a breakpoint on a line below where we call set_trace(). With python 3.7 and later versions, there is a built-in function called breakpoint() which works in the same manner.
