Python debug tips ¶

Instead of: “import pdb; pdb.set_trace()” Do this: “breakpoint()” by Nina Zakharenko ¶

           Instead of: "import pdb; pdb.set_trace()"
Do this: "breakpoint()"
It's available in Python 3.7+.
Want a fancier debugger?
export PYTHONBREAKPOINT=ipdb.set_trace
Want to disable all breakpoint?
export PYTHONBREAKPOINT=0

           Also, when you're in the Python debugger and want a "real" Python prompt, use "interact"
Her talk also includes nice demos of debugging web apps (including templates and code in templates) with IDEs like VS Code.
I'm glad I took the time to watch this!
