pdb is an in-built Python debugger that supports breakpoints, stepping through the source line by line, inspection of stack frames, source code listing, etc.

In order to use the tool, launch first an interactive session and start then your Python program under the debugger:

python -m pdb myscript.py

Running pdb will open the prompt which supports various commands such as where, down, up, up, break, step, next, jump, list.
