I'm using a interactive graphical Python debugger with ipdb under the hood (Canopy's graphical debugger). The script I am working on has multiple imported modules and several calls to their respective functions. Whenever I attempt a debugging run, execution gets stuck somewhere within a call to an imported module's function (specifically subprocess). My two main questions are:
1) Does running in debug mode slow things down considerably? Is the code not actually stuck, but just running at a painfully slow rate?
2) Is there a way to completely pass over bits of code and run them as if I were not even debugging? I want to prevent the debugger from diving into subprocess and just execute it as if it were a normal run.
I might toss the graphical debugger and do everything from a terminal, but I would like to avoid that if I can because the graphical interface is really convenient and saves a lot of typing.
