When debugging, I usually just add more print or logging statements.

             print('Calculating D for prog {0}'.format(prog))
             D=[prog[key1] for key1 in sCommonFeatures]
             print('D calculated to be {0}'.format(D))

This lets me see the inputs and output of a block of code.
And for longer algorithms I would put more print statements
to track what is occurring. For example, if you are in a loop, 
it can be useful to use enumerate() so you have a loop counter
and can see which iteration the problem is occurring on. 


But I have not used pdb very much.
