In a word, gdb. I've been doing this quite a lot lately. The trick is to start Python up under gdb, set a pending breakpoint in your C module, then carry on as normal. For example: rhodri@Wildebeest:~/hub_module$ gdb python3 GNU gdb (Ubuntu 8.1-0ubuntu3.2) 8.1.0.20180409-git Copyright (C) 2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(gdb) b Hub_new Function "Hub_new" not defined. Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) y Breakpoint 1 (Hub_init) pending.

If you're on Windows, another option would be doing a remote attach from
Visual Studio C++
-- so, you can start the program under debugging in Python and then do an
attach to process from Visual Studio C++.

You can also attach gdb to a running (python) process .. but the
interpreter needs to have the symbol table (eg. not stripped).
I gave a presentation few years back on this exact topic (sorry for the
quality, I was very in-experienced).

I hope this helps.
PS> I'm working on a tiny "relocatable" python interpreter + toolchain
using docker (sort of miniconda but for plain python)
https://bitbucket.org/cav71/builder3/src/master that might be useful.
