Testing the UI I run the base module and see the frame with the status bar
but no menues or the tabbed notebook. Invoking the application in
winpdb-1.4.8 has the source code window (on the right side) very small.
moving that window frame to the left changes the cursor to a double-head
arrow (<=>) and when I finish moving the frame to expose the source code the
debugger locks the application. I can move the cursor but cannot access the
panel, other windows, or anything else. So, I open a new console and kill
the winpdb process.
This leads to my questions: 1) can I use winpdb with wxPython4 and
Python3? If not, 2) which debugger will work (perhaps rpdb2)?
I also suggest to take a look at the debuggers included with PyCharm and VisualStudio Code, they are both very capable and get the job done without much hassle.

This will do the job. and I can run it within emacs.

My experiences with python-specific IDEs has been much less than
satisfactory, and I don't do Microsoft (haven't for > 20 years).
My last message was incorrect. The revised work-in-progress loads and the
split window can be adjusted, but it segfaults as soon as the F6 key is
pressed.
Looking at files in the downloaded directories I see that the developer is
limited to using Microsoft's OSes so I'm not surprised it does not work with
linux.
Now I'm reading about the builtin pdb module and will use this to debug my
Python3 (and wxPython4) code.

Religion has no place in a programmer's toolbox. Microsoft's open
source VSCode editor is one of the best development editors available
today. It is fast, attractive, extraordinarily configurable, has great
plugin support, and runs identically on Windows, Linux, and MacOS. You
do yourself a disservice by ignoring it.

Agreed. I was very pleasantly surprised when I gave it another try. It was nothing special when I tried it a few years ago, but it is a totally different tool now. I find myself liking it a little more each time I use it.
