#Python folks: if you want an interactive debugger, what do you use, and how do you set it up? Particularly on unfamiliar projects with something like tox/nox/Just which gets between you and the running process. Bonus points if you have a functioning #Emacs integration.
In principle I love the idea of interactive debuggers. In practice I have been burned so many times by configuration, path, and terminal interaction issues that I have an almost instinctual recoil from anything based on pdb.
@glyph I've had success debugging with debugpy and vscode. (debugpy: https://github.com/microsoft/debugpy ) I believe it was created for debugging functionality in vscode, but it uses an open protocol that other tools have been built to support as well, (though I haven't tried any of them.)
Tools that support the Debug Adapter Protocol are listed on this webpage: https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/
