paste this inside your script for debugging, to start a Python interactive terminal shell session at that point in the script, super useful for debugging since it lets you explore the Python environment and access objects and variables as they are at that point in the script.

import readline # optional, will allow Up/Down/History in the console
import code
vars = globals().copy()
vars.update(locals())

Here are some handy commands for connecting to servers and copying files about. These are all for Linux terminal / bash shell

Do cool things with ssh; log in & run command, find files in dir

# log into server
ssh [email protected] -Y 
# -X      Enables X11 forwarding. <- use this to enable X11 graphical windows, but this will eventually time out & you'll lose the X11 connection
# -Y      Enables trusted X11 forwarding. <- this one preserves your X11 connection while you're logged in

You can use IGV to automatically & programmatically load genomic datasets and take snapshots of regions of interest. This is very handy and helps you avoid taking many screenshots manually.
