there's an ipdb you can install to be able to debug, similar the Python 
stdlib pdb.'Bout as much as I know.

Seems Jupyter provides something more sophisticated but this is just a 
quick web search, no knowledge (this iPython notebook stuff has never 
really made sense to me, and I end up deleting the support packages when 
they install automatically in VS Code, for example. So I'm a pretty bad 
resource (grin)).
