How do I debug closures in Python?

Debugging closures in Python can be tricky. You can use print statements or logging to track variable values.

Can you give me an example of a closure?

Sure! A closure is a function that remembers its environment. For example:

def outer_function(x):
    def inner_function(y):
        return x + y
    return inner_function

closure = outer_function(10)
print(closure(5))  # Outputs 15

What if the inner function is not returning the expected value?

You can check the values of x and y by adding print statements inside the inner function to see what's being passed.

Are there any tools that can help with debugging closures?

Yes, you can use debugging tools like pdb or IDEs with debugging capabilities to step through your code.
