How do you debug in Python? Coming from a Matlab and R user. I'm already aware of pdb.

Another approach is to run the code in an IDE.  I happen to use Wing, but that is a coincidence.  But almost ANY IDE will let you set a break point, then single-step through your code starting at the break point and examine the values of your variables at each step.  Sometimes this is an awfully big hammer for what is a head-slapping mistake.  But it has never failed me.

Good luck,
Bill
