Python debugging: is there a tool that lets you enter a function when an exception happens (just like a breakpoint)?

For example, in R you can set options(error = recover), and whenever an error occurs, it will let you inspect all the functions that are active at the time along with all the variables in their scope. It's basically like retroactively inserting a breakpoint wherever an error occurs.

Does pdb or Python have a tool like this?

If you are using VS Code as your editor, you should be able to do this.

Simply click Run > Start Debugging, and select a debug configuration
