I have a python doit script that is getting stuck on one step but doesn't throw an error. It would sit all day if I let it. I've checked all the inputs and they look exactly the same as the last time I ran it. How do I debug? I tried using pdb but maybe I don't know how to use it and I googled and couldn't find example code. I can't post my code since its confidential. Just a general how to debug in doit would help me greatly. I use Python 2.7 and yes eventually I'll have to update to 3 but for now I'm using 2.7. (Sorry I have had quite a few ask why I continue with 2.7--- no time right now to update all my scripts, there are over 200)

    Why not just learn how to use PDB? Actually, I'd search for videos in this particular case, because it's a "visual" thing, but that's just my preference. Why can't you extract a [mcve] from your script and post that here? That would also make it easier for you to learn debugging it, due to its decreased scope. That said, as a new user here, please take the [tour] and read [ask]. – Ulrich Eckhardt Dec 29 '20 at 18:05

doit provides a set_trace() function that will call PDB set_trace and make sure stdout output is printed on terminal.

Not your case, but doit also provides a command line option --pdb that automatically drops in PDB when an unhandled exception occurs.
