python pdb equivalent of perldb methods callable?

Question

I am used to Perl's debugger m methods callable function so that during debugging, I can do:

m $self

And I will get a list of methods associated to the object at that point.

Is there an equivalent to that in python-2.7.5 -m pdb?

Answer 1

If you want to query the current object (self), use:

(Pdb) dir(self)

Otherwise, you can install ipdb, which gives you an IPython-based debugger. There, you get autocompletion:

ipdb> self.<TAB>
