How to use breakpoint in python without using IDE features

Question

It will great help if you can explain with code example or any useful resource.

Answer 1

you can use the in-built pdb library.

import pdb 
a = 10
pdb.set_trace()
print(a)

So what it would basically do is, stop the program after line 2 is executed. and from there you would have command line access to the code with is execute above the set_trace() is added.
