It's a real pain in the ass to debug without a debugger. What IDE and debuggers to you use with dabo (and python development in general)?
I used Winpdb a while back, and while I never ran into the problems with locals that you seem to have, I just found it way to slow to start up, and the fact that you can't put a breakpoint in your code makes it almost useless to me, since that means I have no simple way of skipping over the stuff that I'm not working on.
Like Paul, I use lots of print statements in my code and read the output in the terminal window to find out where things are not working as expected. When I need to step through code, I can just add 'dabo.trace()' to invoke the pdb debugger.
With the exception of the tricks used to get .cdxml code to execute as instance methods of the objects, there is nothing that is not straight wxPython in any of our UI code, and nothing that is not plain vanilla Python in the rest. There is no outside magic happening; it's just Python.
