I have found that a very simple and inexpensive way to look at Python
code while it's running is to insert a couple of lines in the code at the
points you want to look at:
print variableName
raw_input("Pause")
The 'print variableName' will print the value the variable is pointing to,
and 'raw_input("Pause") acts like a breakpoint, stopping program execution
so you can check out what's happening. Two other items of interest are:
dir (itemName)
type (itemName)
Both are extremely helpful when you're first learning Python. They're useful
for discovering the modules and attributes in classes, and checking the
type of objects.
You can use these in addition to any graphical output tools you find.
