title: How can I start pdb for Python 3.6 on Windows?
body: <p>Per the accepted answer to this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4929251/can-you-step-through-python-code-to-help-debug-issues">question</a>, I'm trying to use <code>pdb</code> for debugging.</p>
  
  <p>I can start the debugger successfully with this syntax:</p>
  
  <pre><code>python -m pdb program.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but prefer the other option provided in the answer (which isn't working):</p>
  
  <pre><code>pdb program.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is the second syntax supported on Windows? If so, how can I get it working? The error is the standard "not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."</p>
