Python Debugging: Given an error, can I step backwards, fix the error, and continue the program?

My current (PyCharm based) debugging workflow is to run a program in debug mode. When I run into an error, I fix it, and restart the program from the beginning.
Is it possible to save re-running the healthy part of the program by moving the program back by one step, fix the issue, and continue the program?
Is there a general way to do this, and one specific for PyCharm?
[edit:]
this is related but not similar to Is there "Edit and Continue" in PyCharm? Reload code into running program like in Eclipse / PyDev? , as there the author anticipates halts the program before an error occurs. here, i consider an error state

Python: Process finished with exit code -1073741819 (0xC0000005). How to Debug?

I'm getting a strange error "Process finished with exit code -1073741819 (0xC0000005)" running python 3.7 on a windows machine. The process just crashes. The error comes in random time. It seems to appear inside a thread.
Is there someway to get more information where exactly the error comes from? Right now my only solution is to add logging, but that is really time consuming.
Thanks a lot for any hint.

I've seen this error occur when a Python script has infinite (or very deep) recursion and the following code is used to increase the recursion limit:
import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(4000)
I would guess that the error means we are running out of memory.

I had the same issue, not long time ago and I have solved this with the following solution:
reinstall python – you don't have python33.dll in c:\WINDOWS\system32\
Maybe you have different python versions – look at folders in root of c:
If yes, then point to your version of python.exe in pyCharm > Settings > Project Interpreter

Visual Studio Code: The terminal process terminated with exit code: {0}

I just installed VSC and did a 2 line code as per the tutorial:
msg = "Hello World"
print(msg)
when running the code, the following error message is displayed:
The terminal process terminated with exit code: {0}
If I click on the terminal menu, and then new terminal, it briefly appears and vanishes with same error message.

Try running the program by pushing the green arrow in Visual Studio Code. I think what you’re seeing is that the code completes and the terminal closes. It’s not waiting for you to do anything, so it’s finished.
Assuming you’re in Windows, the easiest way to get around this is to run the code within the Visual Studio itself.
Another handy way to use PowerShell. Open PowerShell. Navigate to the directory were you have saved the program and type “python yourfilename.py”. The program will still end quickly, but you will be able to see what it printed.
Finally, you can use Python IDLE. IDLE is an IDE, like VS Code, but specifically for Python. You can open your program with IDLE and it will display the results in a similar way that it would appear in PowerShell.
There are a lot of different options. It’s confusing when you’re first trying to get your bearings. You’ll find something that feels good for you.

PyCharm: Why are only exit code lines displayed?

For example, running the following line of code:
print("Hello, world! My name is Enkouyami")
Only outputs this:
Process finished with exit code 0
The only way to get it to display that text is to go to the python console.

My AV Program was pausing the installer and the Pycharm application, asking me if I want to allow the program to perform certain actions. Even though I allowed it, it messed up my Pycharm setup. Reinstalling Pycharm fixed the problem.

Pycharm exit code 0

Whenever I run any code, my console always ends with Process finished with exit code 0.
For example, if i were to just print("hellow"):
pydev debugger: process 21021 is connecting
Connected to pydev debugger (build 131.618)
hellow
Process finished with exit code 0
Is there any way to make the output just "hellow"?

You realize it is not part of the output right? It's just additional information provided by the IDE's console. The real program is just outputting hellow as expected.
Saying that the Process finished with exit code 0 means that everything worked ok. If an exception occurs in your program or otherwise an exit is generated with non-zero argument, the IDE is gonna inform you about this, which is useful debug information.
You're not supposed to run your Python programs from the IDE when in production so I think trying to remove that is irrelevant.

I got the same error and reason in my case was that previous python script was running through Pycharm. To resolve this, trying stopping all previous running scripts from Pycharm then run your current script. This may be helpful.

If you stop your script and it throws an exception you can add the following except that returns the same message.
except KeyboardInterrupt:
sys.exit(0)
Returns
Process finished with exit code 0
