Debug Python code
Starting a debugger session is very similar to running the program in normal mode. The debugger is attached behind the scenes, so you don't have to configure anything specific to start a debugger session. If you are able to run your program from DataSpell, you will also be able to debug it using the same configuration.
Press Ctrl + D (macOS) or Shift + F9 (Windows, Linux).
This will create a temporary run/debug configuration for you. After that, you can customize and save this temporary configuration if needed. This is the quickest way to debug your program without configuring the startup parameters.
Click the Debug icon (
) on the Python editor toolbar.

F9.
