Open Source Python Debuggers

A disassembler for the linux platform. Currently this supports x86 ELF files assumed to be written in C and output to intel- syntax assembly language; however the design is modular and replacements for any of these can be written.

Pwndbg is a fast, simple and lightweight tool for modern debugging. It improves debugging experience with the strength of GDB for low-level software developers, hardware hackers, reverse engineers, and exploit developers. It provides features crucial for efficient debugging in the world of low-level programming. Vanilla GDB is terrible to use for reverse engineering and exploit development. Typing x/g30x $esp is not fun, and does not confer much information. The year is 2024 and GDB still lacks a real hexdump command! GDB's syntax is arcane and difficult to approach. Windbg users are completely lost when they occasionally need to bump into GDB.

Obsolete. See http://www.ti.com/tool/msp430-gcc-opensource or upstream GNU tools. This is a port of the GNU C Compiler (GCC) and GNU Binutils (as, ld) for the embedded processor MSP430. Tools for debugging and download are provided (GDB, JTAG and BSL)

A regex tool -- A Python GUI for creating, testing and debugging regular expressions for the Python programming language. Kodos utilizes the pyqt library for it's interface. Screenshots available on project homepage.

pyringe is a powerful Python process “syringe” that attaches to a running interpreter and lets you introspect—and even execute code inside—that live process. It blends debugger-style attachment (via gdb/ptrace techniques) with Python-aware helpers so you can inspect threads, frames, locals, and heap objects without restarting the target. This is invaluable for post-mortem diagnosis of production daemons where reproducing a bug in a dev shell is impractical. pyringe can inject arbitrary Python into the target process, enabling on-the-spot logging, state dumps, or gentle patching to keep a system limping along while you gather evidence. It’s also useful for forensic snapshots: enumerate objects of a certain type, find reference cycles, or measure memory pressure without pre-instrumentation. While powerful, it’s designed for careful, auditable use—showing exactly what code runs and where—so teams can regain visibility when black-box processes go sideways.

httpdbg is a tool for Python developers to easily debug the HTTP(S) client requests in a Python program.

Cinemagoer is a Python package useful to retrieve and manage the data of the IMDb movie database about movies, people, characters and companies. Platform-independent, it can retrieve data from both the IMDb's web server and a local copy of the whole db.

GEF is a set of commands for x86/64, ARM, MIPS, PowerPC and SPARC to assist exploit developers and reverse-engineers when using old-school GDB. It provides additional features to GDB using the Python API to assist during the process of dynamic analysis and exploit development. Application developers will also benefit from it, as GEF lifts a great part of regular GDB obscurity, avoiding repeating traditional commands or bringing out the relevant information from the debugging runtime.

Existing libraries implement automatic differentiation by tracing a program's execution (at runtime, like PyTorch) or by staging out a dynamic data-flow graph and then differentiating the graph (ahead-of-time, like TensorFlow). In contrast, Tangent performs ahead-of-time autodiff on the Python source code itself, and produces Python source code as its output. Tangent fills a unique location in the space of machine learning tools. As a result, you can finally read your automatic derivative code just like the rest of your program. Tangent is useful to researchers and students who not only want to write their models in Python, but also read and debug automatically-generated derivative code without sacrificing speed and flexibility. Tangent works on a large and growing subset of Python, provides extra autodiff features other Python ML libraries don't have, has reasonable performance, and is compatible with TensorFlow and NumPy.

The Virtual USB Analyzer is a graphical tool for browsing traces of captured USB data. It supports logs generated by Ellisys hardware analyzers and VMware's software analyzer, and Linux's usbmon.

ChatDBG is an AI-assisted debugging tool that integrates large language models into standard debuggers like pdb, lldb, and gdb. It allows developers to engage in a dialog with the debugger, asking open-ended questions about their program's behavior, and provides error diagnoses and suggested fixes.

Automatic Video Library Manager for TV shows. It watches for new episodes of your favorite shows, and when they are posted it does its magic. Select the show you want to grab, add it, and let SickChill handle the rest. See what SickChill holds in store for you. SickChill has a nice calendar that allows you to know what you will see next. It watches for new episodes of your favorite shows, and when they are posted it does its magic: automatic torrent/nzb searching, downloading, and processing at the qualities you want.

A RAD GUI Building IDE for wxPython.

Unfortunately this project has been suspended. If you wish to continue its development on your own, please feel free to contact me. UnPyc is a tool for disassembling, analyzing and decompiling Python's *.pyc and *.pyo files. UnPyc supports Python 2.5, 2.6.

Python framework to analyze Linux crash dumps programmatically from 'crash' and tools written using it. Documentation (a work in progress!) is available at: https://pykdump.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Winpdb is a platform independent GPL Python debugger with support for multiple threads, namespace modification, embedded debugging, encrypted communication and is up to 20 times faster than pdb.

SPE is a python IDE with auto indentation&completion,call tips,syntax coloring&highlighting,uml viewer,class explorer,source index,todo list,pycrust shell,file browsers,drag&drop,Blender support.Spe ships with wxGlade,PyChecker and Kiki.

PyChecker is a static analysis tool for finding bugs in Python source code. It finds problems that are typically caught by a compiler for less dynamic languages, like C and C++. It is similar to lint.

Modern software systems and application are commonly written in multiple languages, include scripting engines, and are frequently build on multiple specialized frameworks and middleware for a considerable diversity of runtime environments. The latest influencing update in development paradigm is the application of multicore processors. This projects is aimed to unify the required trace and logging output and integrate into debugging environments. The target is to provide general development, test, and production support of software environments based on multiple programming languages for distributed multicore environments.

File-Spector is a small, fast and easy to use binary file analyzer and Inspector. It allows the users to format a complete binary file structure and then use it to read any binary file that matches the specified format.

It is a Process Monitoring Toolkit with the ability of Extend. E.g. You can use it to monitor a specified process. And set a triger like (over 50MB mem use) then do something like (report to DB).
