django-pdb on PyPI

[Tom Christie]

I've thrown up the django-pdb package on PyPI - hopefully some of y'all will find it a useful little tool.

PyPI: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-pdb/0.1.1

GitHub: https://github.com/tomchristie/django-pdb

Suggestions and contributions are of course very welcome.

Here's the basic README...

Make debugging Django easier

======================

Adding pdb.set_trace() to your source files every time you want to break into pdb sucks.

Don't do that.

Do this.

Installation

========

Install using `pip`, add to your INSTALLED_APPS:

    pip install django-pdb

    INSTALLED_APPS = (

        ...

        'django_pdb',

    )

Usage

=====

manage.py runserver

    Drops into pdb at the start of a view if the URL includes a 'pdb' GET parameter

manage.py runserver --pdb

    Drops into pdb at the start of every view

manage.py test --pdb

    Drops into pdb on test errors/failures

That's nice.

I've figured out how to enable this and django-devserver (since they both override 'runserver', they clash).

You can just install the middleware (dependent upon settings.DEBUG, naturally).

Documentation patch forthcoming.

Thanks for that! Yeah there's nothing very complicated about it, but makes for a useful little package.
