===== Install in your machine ===== If pudb is not installed in your machine, do : sudo yum install python-pudb.noarch or sudo yum install python3-pudb.noarch ===== How to use ? ===== Add in your python file import pudb;pu.db to break at this line and start the debugger. Alternatively, start your scripts with the ''%%pudb%%'' or ''%%pudb3%%'' command instead of ''%%python%%'' or ''%%python3%%'' You can find a tutorial here : http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/pudb.html
