What techniques/tools do you recommend for debugging?
I use the Python interactive shell, and code each module so that the
behaviour is easily introspected and tested from outside the module. If
I'm not able to easily introspect the code at an interactive prompt,
that's a clear sign that the code interface is poorly designed. So I fix
that first.
By all accounts, the ‘pdb’ module makes for a good low-level debugging
tool. I've never needed it though.
I really like using Winpdb (http://winpdb.org/) which provides a GUI for
pdb. It allows you to single-step your code and inspect objects in
memory. What exactly is in that silly nextOne variable? Hey, it's a
list rather but it's supposed to be a number! You get the picture.
