For my Django projects the development server is werkzeug [1] and anywhere a break point is needed I'll add 1/0 in the code then hit refresh in the browser which pulls up an interactive debugger [2].

This is what I'm going to try to use in every language from now on.

  Except for JS, which will execute `1/0` happily and without complaint. For that, I usually do `undefined.foo`.

    JS has a debugger keyword!

      Python has one too now!

thanks for showing me this! I use the more I learn about django-extensions the more impressed I am with its features. Being able to interact with the django shell with a jupyter notebook is awesome too.

This works in recent versions of Rails as well.

FYI you can do import pdb; pdb.set_trace() It pulls up console debugger and is a standard python package.

  The visual of the entire traceback in the browser and the ability to drop into an interactive shell within a specific frame is (for me) a way better experience than pdb.

  With python 3.7 you can just do 'breakpoint()' now, and it'll import pdb and run settrace. It also allows you to use other debuggers, pretty cool.

I wonder if they support breakpoint() ? https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#breakpoint https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#breakpoint
