Starting in Python 3.7, the `breakpoint()` built-in function was added

It is defined in PEP 553 and simplifies adding a breakpoint to your code

You can read about the `breakpoint()` function for Python here:

python.org/dev/peps/pep-0…

Here is some sample code showing how to use the `breakpoint()` function in your Python code

Here is a GIF that shows how to run the code. When a breakpoint is reached, the Python debugger (pdb) will launch automatically

If you'd like to learn more about debugging your #Python code with `breakpoint()` and the `pdb` module, you should check out my tutorial @mousevspython
