Can python be used to debug other languages?

[Matt Gerrans]

Um, isn't that what debuggers are for?   Or do you mean something else?

Python is excellent as a code generator for either of those languages.

Jython can be pretty nifty for testing-as-you-go with Java in the same way
that the interactive interpreter (or, better, IDLE) is for Python itself.
This is more along the lines of unit testing (if you preserve the scripts
for future regression testing and whatnot) or experimenting, but not
debugging.

I don't see how Python could do the job of a debugger in either C++ or Java.
