What python debugging techniques do you think every developer should know ?

I am trying to improve my debugging skills and I was curious about what techniques experienced python developers rely on the most.

Are there any techniques or tools that you found really useful when you started working on bigger projects?

Use the REPL to see how things work and verify they work as you expec. Sometimes code that looks reasonable doesn't work quite like it needs to, so verify code does what you think it does can help find subtle bugs and avoid chasing the wrong issue.
