I think this tool is very handy and concise, beforehand I used to paste
from IPython import embed; embed(colors='neutral')for debugging purposes.Python 3.7 introduced the built-in function
breakpoint()via PEP 553. I read theDebugimplementation and noticed that devtools'debug.breakpoint()and built-inbreakpoint()produce the same output and behavior.In order to avoid this redundancy and to enhance the
debug.breakpoint()method, I got an idea to add support for IPython debugger. This way we have syntax highlighting (closer toprettier printoutput), tab completion, etc., keeping the same interface aspdb.
