Debugging Python - Astrikor - Dec-04-2018
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-from-start?highlight=VSCode
