Python debugging and breakpoints?

#1

Dear Sublimistas !

I used Eclipse/pydev and I liked mainly because it has good tools for debugging python code. I am testing sublime for writing in python and so far I like what I see, except that I have not find yet how to debug python code, how to enter breakpoints, and so forth. I installed PdbSublimeTextSupport but I can’t find anywhere instructions to set breakpoints and inspect the code etc as with Eclipse/pydev.

Therefore I will be very grateful if someone in the forum could lead me to pointers/info/sites where setting breakpoints for debugging in python is described.

Thanks !
JEV

I haven’t used PDB before, but take a look at the docs (if you haven’t already) for it. docs.python.org/2/library/pdb.html

Debugging in PDB is done by entering commands from the keyboard. I am looking for graphical user interface for debugging such as the PyDev in Eclipse and other tools.

Thanks

Then ST may not be the right tool for you. Debugging like that is not available (as far as I know) in ST. Keep in mind that ST is a text editor not an IDE. It’s unrealistic to expect the same features from two very different products.
