My personal variation of IIPPID debugging is to use input() instead of print().  For example:

     input('x = {}, y = {} --> '.format(x, y))

Then the program stops at this point so you can examine the values.  <Enter> will continue the 
program or ^C will abort (if you see what the problem is now).  Of course this can't be used in 
all situations, but it's handy where it can.

Note that my personal preference is to stick that "-->" as a prompt at the end, but obviously 
this (or a similar marker) is optional.
