I don't know about winpdb, but if it's compatible with pdb, then I just do
this:
class ExampleTestCase(TestCase):
def test_something(self):
# some test code
# ...
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
# ...
# rest of the test code
Then run your tests normally, and the debugger will automatically be invoked
at the 'pdb.set_trace()' line.
To speed things up, you can run
./manage.py test app.ExampleTestCase.test_something
And only the one test that you specify will actually be run.
