Python is a debugging application

I am trying to fix errors from gedit plugins. Gedit uses C, but some of its plugins are in Python. My computer is old and I can not start the IDE. I read about PDB (Python Debugger), but I cannot call the plugin directly from PDB. Is it possible to set breakpoints in the gedit plugin, run gedit, and then use PDB for debugging?

You can try to edit the gedit plugins you want to debug, and putting

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

and that should break into the debugger. You may need to run gedit from the command line instead of the GUI so that it has a terminal to run pdb.
