hi,
I am new to Python programming.I am not getting exactly pdb.Can
anyone tell me effective way to debug python code?

I think I toyed with pdb back around 1993... Never needed it...

Of course, with so many different languages and debuggers in my
life, I've never found time to master any but the old VMS debugger
(which is nothing more than a very complex error handler <G>)

That's one reason why in my bash and GNU make debugger (and in
extending pdb), I've stuck to the gdb command set: the effort that is
spent mastering gdb can be transfered in the GNU Make, Bash, *AND*
Python debuggers.
