Debugging Python
#1
Having come from Excel VBA, I am looking for similar debugging capabilities in Python.

I have been using Idle, which apparently does not have such features.

So, is there a Python debugger which can

a)step through the code

b)hover over variables to see current value

Many thanks

Idle is the worst 'IDE' you could use.
I suggest VSCode which has built in excellent debugger and every thing else that you are looking foe, plus much more.
to install properly, see: https://python-forum.io/Thread-VS-Code-f...ght=VSCode
