Python IDE: Viewing variable state, running code line by line etc

Hi folks,

New to Quantopian. How do you prefer to code and debug algorithms?

I am used to IDEs where I can partially run code line by line, see the state of variables, look at errors etc. Can I do that in the web based IDE provided? I didn't see any buttons for partial running/trace mode etc.

If this is not possible in the IDE, is there a way to hook up the Quantopian API to the user's choice of dev environment (pycharm, sublime text + terminal etc)

Thanks!

Never mind, found the notebook under "Research" > New.

The help page describes how to use the debugger in the IDE.
