extipy – Debug your Python script with a Jupyter notebook

Comments (1)

meken · 6h ago

Sometimes I'm debugging a Python script which is processing rich text data (e.g. images) and really miss the fact that I don't have access to the capabilities in a Jupyter notebook for displaying that data. So I made a little tool that allows you to insert a breakpoint into your Python script (an IPython kernel) and explore the current state in a Jupyter notebook.

In this way, extipy can be thought of as a rich-text debugger.
