<p><strong><a href="http://listbot.org/blog/python/2010/03/22/pdb/">Fun with TextMate and PDB</a></strong></p> TextMate bookmarks (against lines in a file) are stored as OS X extended attributes, which can be accessed from Python using the xattr module. Here’s a clever piece of code that uses bookmarks to set breakpoints in the command-line pdb debugger. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/debugging">debugging</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/macos">macos</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pdb">pdb</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/textmate">textmate</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/xattr">xattr</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://eric.themoritzfamily.com/2009/02/17/announcing-django-viewtools/">Announcing django-viewtools</a></strong></p> A really excellent idea—run ./manage.py viewtools --pdb /path/on/site/ to debug a view in your Django project that is raising an error using the Python debugger, or use --profile to run the full request cycle for that URL through the profiler. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/debugging">debugging</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/djangoviewtools">djangoviewtools</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/eric-moritz">eric-moritz</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pdb">pdb</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/profiler">profiler</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a></p>

<p><strong><a href="http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/DebuggingTechniques">modswgi: Debugging Techniques</a></strong></p> mod_wsgi is excellent software, and the documentation is equally superb. I used these instructions recently to run the Python debugger inside a running instance of Apache, which helped my track down some import errors that weren’t occurring with Django’s development server. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/debugging">debugging</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/django">django</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/modwsgi">modwsgi</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pdb">pdb</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/wsgi">wsgi</a></p>
