What are some common pitfalls to avoid while debugging?

Common pitfalls include not checking variable types, overlooking exception messages, and failing to isolate the problem. Always test small sections of code.

Are there any tools that can help with debugging in Python?

Yes, tools like PyCharm, Visual Studio Code, and even Jupyter Notebooks have built-in debugging features that can enhance your debugging experience.
