An Atom package for an IDE-like Python debugging experience.

This package is a modification of swift-debugger. Thanks to aciidb0md3r!

• alt-r/option-r: hide/show the debugger view
• alt-shift-r/option-shift-r: toggle breakpoint at the current line

1. Install using APM

   $ apm install python-debugger language-python
   

   The language-python package provides syntax highlighting
2. Open the Python file to debug and insert breakpoints
3. Press alt-r to show the debugger view
4. Insert input arguments in the input arguments field if applicable
5. Hit the Run button. Focus moves to the first breakpoint.
6. Use the buttons provided to navigate through your source. You can enter debugger commands directly in the command field.

The current version should support Python 2.5 and higher, including Python 3. The Python executable to be used while debugging can be changed in the settings.

• Breakpoints inserted with alt-shift-r or the command palette after starting the debugger are not taken into account. If you need to add breakpoints mid-course, use an explicit debugger command (e.g., b 25). The downside is that they won't be highlighted in the editor.
• No remote debugging.
• No watched variables or expressions.

Pull requests welcome!

Happy debugging!
