python pdb: step into a function called from console [duplicate]

Question

Note: To explain this quickly I'm going to talk about this from the perspective of working in Spyder.

If the a function is called in my code, I can put a break point next to where it's called and then when my code gets to that point I can click the "Step into function.." button to see what happens inside this function.

Suppose I'm at some arbitrary breakpoint and want to see what happens inside a function that's not in my code. Is there any way to call this function through the pdb console and "step into" said function call?

Answer 1

You can use ipdb. put ipdb.set_trace() wherever you want to debug. Then press s to step into the function.
