Assuming you already have Visual Studio, then seems this Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS) is a better choice in debugging.

Sometimes, Pydev's debugging will never hit certain breakpoints and just hang(the python native PDB still works), while PTVS works for such scenarios.

Pydev is maintained by 1 man while PYVS is by a team (with commercial interest), so can I say the latter will be better supported?

Answer 1

You can learn more about PTVS debugging in their documentation. If you are willing to use the 2.0 Beta release, then you also get mixed mode debugging. MMD is only one of a handful of features PTVS supports. PTVS also has full breakpoint support, local inspection, watch windows, immediate window, remote debugging, and a debug interactive window.
