The PyCharm Debugger

Foreword

The debugger IDE is the developer's best friend. No contest. If given the option of having Brendan Eich, James Gosling, Anders Hejlsberg, Guido van Rossum, and Bjarne Stroustrup in your contact list, available 24x7 or, having the debugger, always elect the debugger. Not even close. Not only does it provide priceless and insightful perspective of program state, it enables you to obtain that vision.
