PDB Commands PDF

The document describes commands for navigating, controlling execution, and interacting with code in the Python debugger Pdb. Key commands include listing lines of code with 'l', stepping into functions with 's', setting breakpoints with 'b', continuing execution with 'c', printing variables with 'p', and quitting the debugger with 'q'. Pdb can be started on a Python file with the '-m pdb' option or by adding 'import pdb; pdb.set_trace()' in code.

...
pdb.set_trace() begin the debugger at this line when the file is run
    normally

Navigating Code (within the Pdb interpreter)

l(ist) list 11 lines surrounding the current line
w(here) display the file and line number of the current line
n(ext) execute the current line
s(tep) step into functions called at the current line
r(eturn) execute until the current function’s return is
    encountered
Controlling Execution

b [#] create a breakpoint at line [#]
b list breakpoints and their indices
c(ontinue) execute until a breakpoint is encountered
clear[#] clear breakpoint of index [#]

Changing Variables / Interacting with Code

p <name> print value of the variable <name>
!<expr> execute the expression <expr>
NOTE: this acts just like a python interpreter
