I use the debugger that comes with Eric3, but it is only free for Linux/
OS X, as it needs PyQt.
asside from setting (conditional) breakpoints, one of it's features is
that it can show you a browsable tree of all your variables. something
like this:
class MyClass
|
L-- string 'username' - 'myuser'
|
L-- list
L-[0] - 1
L-[1] - 'some value'
You should know by now that I like this IDE ;-)

1. At the point you would like to start the debugger, insert the
following 2 lines:
import pdb
pdb.set_trace()
2. Run your script from the command line.
3. When your script executes the above lines, the pdb debugger will
start up, and give you a prompt. Type 'h' at the prompt (and hit
'enter'), and you'll be shown a list of pdb commands. 's' to step
through your code, 'c' to continue processing (and stop the debugger,
essentially). The prompt is interactive, so you can inspect program
variables as you like.
Start with that, and come back if you have any more questions. :)
