debugging in emacs

[Gary Wessle]

Hi python users

I am using emacs and python-mode.el under dabian testing.
is there a way to debug python code where I can step over each line
and watch the value of all the variables and be able to change
any during debugging. say you have a loop structure and want to see
what the values of your variables are during debugging when your code
is running as you step line by line.

thanks

what is the most used the older python-mode.el or the newer python.el?

I use python-mode.el v. 4.63 with Emacs 21.3 (I haven't made the switch to
21.4 yet). When I'm running an interactive *Python* buffer inside of Emacs
and get a stack trace, I then use pdb.pm() and I get the familiar
GDB-in-Emacs style interface.

Good luck.
