I'm guessing a GUI or curses debugger would help quite a bit.   EG's:
winpdb, pudb.  winpdb is cross-platform, despite the name.  pudb might
not work on Microsoft Windows, though perhaps it would in Cygwin.

These, and many other debuggers allow you to single step through your
code and see what the execution order is, one statement at a time.
It's a pretty valuable learning experience early on, IMO.
