Add support for PDB debugging module

Hello,

I'd like to see support for debugger in Micropython. I know it has been discussed before, but I cannot find any conclusion on that topic from Micropython team. Is even possible to implement PDB support in current Micropython codebase?

If so, what is needed to make it happen? Do the project need more manpower for this task or is it matter of priority or money?

Can upy be debugged with Visual Studio Code(vscode) like CPython(with a vscode's Python extension by M$ )?
Visual Studio is a light excellent platform-independent code editor like Sublime and Atom. It is increasingly accepted by the GNU world.

Assessment

Q Qwen · high

Both items concern debugging in MicroPython, but they address different aspects. Issue #3009 is a feature request to add PDB (Python Debugger) module support to the MicroPython codebase itself. Issue #4796 is a user question about whether MicroPython can be debugged using Visual Studio Code with capabilities similar to CPython's Python extension. While both relate to debugging, #4796 is about IDE/external tool integration rather than implementing the PDB module. The candidate does not resolve the query's request for PDB module support.

Suggested action

Keep both items open. #3009 remains a feature request for PDB module implementation. #4796 should be answered with information about available debugging options for MicroPython (such as pyboard.py debug, mpremote, or other tools) but does not resolve the PDB module feature request.
