I recently rediscovered the venerable but powerful "pudb" #Python #debugger. I think I was introduced to it at Routable.com a few years ago.
It has a design quality I associate with good tools, which is that it's immediately useful with very little RTFM, but also has significant feature depth if you want to go there.
E.g. when I use pdb/ipdb, I often do a lot of manual inspection of variables. The pudb "Variables" panel handles almost all those use cases, fast.

In other #DVCS news, Canonical is dropping Bazaar from Launchpad: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/06/launchpad-bazaar-support-being-removed
"Canonical sunsetting Bazaar may seem abrupt given it’s the code versioning system it helped develop and continues to make use of for the day-to-day development of Ubuntu itself..."
I continue to scratch my head at the Bazaar fork called Breezy (mentioned near the top of that article). I can't see why it exists or why someone would choose it, but... it exists.
