When I have them, I find breakpoints invaluable in determining logic bugs. This is the one thing that I miss languages such as Java/C#/C++, is not having a real debugger.
Python debugging is a joke comparatively. I'm still learning web2py source, but the breakpoints probably are not being triggered due to the way that web2py uses controllers, they are not imported/called in the normal way that say a module is. -Thadeus On Wed, Oct 14, 2009 at 1:00 PM, Carl <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'd be interested to hear why you don't find breakpoints useful..
