ipdb in Google ColabĪs ipdb is not packaged with Python itself so you need to install the package and import it.
#Visual studio code python debug step by step how to
Lets get into how to use ipdb in Google Colab. This debugger doesn't have any visual aspect to it as IDE do, but they allow you to perform similar capabilites such as "Continue", "Step into functions", evaluate expressions, jump to line etc. Python already has pdb which is a command line based debugger but for Jupyter there is ipdb which is similar to pdb but for Jupyter notebooks. Gladly there is a way to debug code within Notebook albeit not as convenient as IDE but still good enough. In those cases debuggers are super handy. Yes, you can always use print() as a quick substitute for debugger but sometimes you need to explore the problem more in the state it occurred, learn how the program is being executed etc.
While I start to use Notebooks, one thing I've missed from the regular dev environment in an IDE is a debugger. Google Colab allows you to directly create a Notebook and run algorithms on GPU (if you are doing Machine Learning) instead of having to deal with Jupyter or driver installations etc. Jupyter notebooks in general have been really great for literate programming and exploratory learning.
