I'll just take this opportunity to point out (for those that don't know)
that Visual Studio Code (an open source cross-platform programmer's text
editor of the same calibre as Sublime or Atom, not an IDE) has great
support for (graphical) debugging of Python code. Not tedious to set up,
particularly. Obviously there are plugins for other editors, but they're
usually not this well-integrated.

If you find yourself wanting a debugger in an IPython/Jupyter notebook,
ipdb is pretty nice.
