pypy: Interactively debug a Python script.

pypy

$ pypy -m pdb ${filename-py}

try on your machine

The command "pypy -m pdb ${filename-py}" is used to run a Python script with the PyPy interpreter and start the PDB (Python Debugger) module to debug the script.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"pypy": This is the command to start the PyPy interpreter, an alternative implementation of Python with a Just-in-Time compiler.
"-m pdb": This tells PyPy to run the pdb module as a script, which starts the Python Debugger.
"${filename-py}": This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual filename of the Python script you want to debug. For example, if your script is named "example.py", the command would become "pypy -m pdb example.py".

When you run this command, PyPy will execute the specified Python script and pause at the first line of code. The PDB module will provide a command-line interface where you can interactively debug the program, allowing you to set breakpoints, step through code, inspect variables, and more.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
