I keep thinking I should be more interested in Jupyter than I am.

Maybe someone who knows things can tell me this: Can I use it to develop and debug larger existing programs? That is, can I take 10k lines (say) of Python, that are spread across some modules, load them into Jupyter, not get a horrifying mess, and work on my program?

I think so and that's the goal of my tool (do a Ctrl-f for pynt on this page - I don't want to spam the link too many times).

This functionality is also present (somewhat) in pycharm where you can attach a jupyter console to any region of code. Though, that's just a console and not a notebook.

Probably not, but it depends on your program. I've been suprised how well it worked in some places just loading the parts of a program and working with that shimming between them, but as is stated elsewhere it's not really about debugging but more about code exploration.
