I vaguely remember having a similar problem though I don't remember how I solved it, though I did solve it, so it is possible. As far as pdb, that is what I'm actually using at the moment. I just use a text editor and run manage.py runserver from a batch file. When it hit's a pdb.set_trace() it will drop you into a Python comand prompt with complete variable context of the current point in the application, in the console window starting for manage.py. So you can inspect and try logic real time basically. It's really powerful and I would definitely recommend looking into it. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
