PyCharm

This is going to sound like a commercial but I’m so impressed with a new Python editor I learned about while listening to the Talk Python podcast. Wow, PyCharm is very impressive. And I’ve only just started using it. I use to use print statements and the pdb debugger to debug programs. Not to blow Microsoft’s horn but I haven’t seen anything even approaching their interactive debugging…until PyCharm. Much like MS you just click on a statement to cause a breakpoint. Then a window opens with all variables and their values is shown.
