Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

set_trace

✓ import web_pdb; web_pdb.set_trace()

✗ import web_pdb.set_trace

set_trace is a function inside the module, not a submodule.

Insert web_pdb.set_trace() where you want to break. Then run your script. Open http://localhost:5555 in a browser.

import web_pdb def my_function(): x = 10 web_pdb.set_trace() # Opens a web debugger at http://localhost:5555 y = x + 5 print(y) my_function()

Known issues

gotchaweb-pdb starts a new thread for the HTTP server each time set_trace() is called. Avoid calling set_trace() inside loops or frequently called functions; it will spawn many threads.

fix

Use a conditional breakpoint: if condition: web_pdb.set_trace()

affects: all

gotchaThe web interface only works on localhost by default. If you need remote access, you must set the host manually.

fix

Use web_pdb.set_trace(host='0.0.0.0') to bind to all interfaces. Be aware of security implications.

affects: all

deprecatedIn version 2.0.0+, importing web_pdb directly (import web_pdb) is the correct pattern. Older examples show 'from web_pdb import set_trace' which still works but is less explicit.

fix

Use 'import web_pdb; web_pdb.set_trace()'.

affects: >=2.0.0

breakingStarting with version 2.0.0, web-pdb no longer supports Python 2. Only Python >=3.8.

fix

Ensure your environment uses Python 3.8 or newer.

affects: >=2.0.0
