pdb.set_trace alternative with apache/wsgi

Question

I have just migrated my development enviroment from manage.py to apache/wsgi, how ever when I run pdb.set_trace() I get BdbQuit. Is there a way to work with something like pdb.set_trace under apache/wsgi ?

Answer 1

You'll need a remote debugger. Look into rpdb2 here: http://winpdb.org/docs/embedded-debugging/

Of course, Apache+WSGI is typically a production environment and is going to be harder to debug then running the development appserver with manage.py.
