Debugger is useful for python as well since today its much more than just arithmetic statements. There are all sorts of bindings being used and many complicated data structures as well. (not to mention threads etc). Thus even though its a scripting language the applications remain similar to those in other languages and a debugger is needed. You could consider using one of the following debuggers for python:- 1. pdb - This is of course the standard python debugger. 2. pydb - its a command line python debugger and is compatible with ddd. It has some more features than pdb. 3. rpdb2 - text based debugger and reputed to be quite faster than pdb (some say 20 times). There is a cross-platform gui frontend based on wx available called winpdb. HTH Gajendra -- Do you have another question?
