Pdb++ (pdbpp) is an extended debugger that is a drop-in replacement for pdb, the standard Python debugger. Once installed, import pdb and breakpoint() automatically use Pdb++, and it adds tab completion, syntax highlighting, a sticky mode that keeps showing the code around the current line, improved command output, and more. Because it keeps the pdb command set as is, it improves the terminal debugging experience without extra learning.
