How can you set python debugger (pdb) breakpoints in Sublime Text 3?
Both SublimeREPL or Python Breakpoints fail with default python build system:
print "hello" # code runs fine without this breakpoint import pdb; pdb.set_trace() print "bye" >>>File "C:\Python27\lib\bdb.py", line 49, in trace_dispatch >>>return self.dispatch_line(frame) >>>File "C:\Python27\lib\bdb.py", line 68, in dispatch_line >>>if self.quitting: raise BdbQuit
Above issue appears documented, but with no obvious fix. Or has the answer been staring at me?
Starting Python Debugger To start debugging within the program just insert import pdb, pdb. set_trace() commands. Run your script normally and execution will stop where we have introduced a breakpoint. So basically we are hard coding a breakpoint on a line below where we call set_trace().
Installation of Sublime Plugin Step 3 − Start the debug session of PHP file using the shortcut Ctrl+F9. You can also do it using the Start Debug option using command palette.
SublimeDebugger. This is a graphical debugger for Sublime Text 3.
If you don't want to deal with additional packages, you can create a snippet to set the breakpoint for you.
<snippet> <content><![CDATA[import pdb;pdb.set_trace()]]></content> <tabTrigger>pdb</tabTrigger> <scope>source.python</scope> <description>Insert a breakpoint</description> </snippet>
The above snippet will trigger whenever you type pdb
in your code.
Instructions On a Mac
It should start working immediately after saving.

As mentioned by @FamousSnake in the comments below, you can modify the snippet to use the built-in breakpoint() function if you're using Python 3.7 or higher. This is especially convenient if you use linters or utilities like black to format your code. It should get them to stop complaining or splitting the code above into multiple lines. You can use the revised snippet below:
<snippet> <content><![CDATA[breakpoint()]]></content> <tabTrigger>pdb</tabTrigger> <scope>source.python</scope> <description>Insert a breakpoint</description> </snippet>

Use ctrl+shift+b to toggle breakpoint in a line
But its not preferable solution for debugging a software using a text editor. There are best IDE which makes your development lot easier
