CW> How do you troubleshooting/debugging in Python? GE> Mostly I read exception trace and read the code and think about it. GE> If that doesn't work, I add some print() or syslog() calls.
CW> I know hardcore computer scientists would tell me about Python debugger. GE> I've been writing Python for 20+ years. I've never tried a debugger. Agree with Grant on these points. I certainly use gdb to debug C code (like the interpreter), but for Python code, tracebacks and print statements pretty much take care of things. I know pdb has been around for a long while and many people like IDEs, but I've not generally found them all that useful. I'm stuck in the 90s I guess.
