Do you mean using the Python debugger? If I need to do that I will either use the command line debugger (pdb) inside the shell window or close the vim session and start pythonwin (or Eclipse which has a really good debugger!) But in 10 years of using Python I've only resorted to the debugger maybe a dozen times in total. Usually a few print statements and a session with the >>> prompt is adequate to find any bugs. The best debugging tools are your eyes! Remember too that you can always import the module into the shell window if you need to test specific functions in isolation. Alan G.

Really it was just to show that you don't necessarily need to use an all-in-one IDE like Pythonwin or IDLE,
