Debugging with ipython/ipdb?

Asked by Am00

How can I step-by-step debug my Python programs with Python-mode?

I would like to debug my code from ipython/ipdb and have python-mode show/highlight on what line I am at each step during step-by-step debugging. Is this possible?

Thank you Andreas. I have been debugging my programs the way they explain in that link.

It would be very nice if Emacs could display/highlight the current line in a python buffer on a step-by-step debugging session. Do you know if python-mode supports that, or if there is any way to get that functionality?
