import pdb gets you the standard python debugger.

But IDLE and Pythonwin etc have their own builtin graphical 
debuggers too.

But if you are getting a lot of errors the debugger is the wrong 
place to look. DEbuggers are for deep diagnostics when the simple 
things fail and usually only used on a single obscure fault at 
a time.

To deal with lots of errors use the >>> prompt to try things 
out before committing them to a file. THen import the "finished" 
file and try exercising the functions classes one by one from 
the >>> prompt. Finally  insert print statements at suitable 
points, and only after doing all of that try the debugger.

The best debugger of all is the one between your ears!
