Hello everyone, I'm a long time Matlab and R user working on data science. How do you troubleshooting/debugging in Python?
I ran into this impossible situation to debug: class person: def __init__(self, id, created_at, name, attend_date, distance): """Create a new `person`. """ self._id = id self.created_at = created_at self.name = name self.attend_date = attend_date self.distance = distance @classmethod def get_person(self, employee): """Find and return a person by. """ return person(employee['created_at'], employee['id'], employee['name'], employee['attend_date'], employee['distance'] ) I got an error message saying id was 'str', but expecting 'int'. In R, I use the interactive IDE with console. Wherever the error interrupts the code, I just evaluate that line in the console. Very convenient! If this error was in R, I would have tried: > self._id = 123 But, I can't do that here! What do I do? Do I HAVE TO instantiate an object first? It's not convenient if I have 10 of these objects around. I need to instantiate 10 objects. I know hardcore computer scientists would tell me about Python debugger. R also has one, but nobody ever uses it. I don't find them user-friendly! Thanks a lot, Mike -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
