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

I thought so for the first 12 year of using Python.
For the last 12 years I have been using an IDE/debugger with built-in 
console.

It boosted productivity by at least a factor of two.


Sometimes "python -i ..." and "import pdb" is good enough, being able to 
inspect variables after an exception.
I have the impression that pdb as post mortem debugger is not well known...
