[TIP] pdb, coverage.py, etc... what's the right tool?

[Dan Wandschneider]

Colin-
Probably pdb.  You can use pdb.set_trace() to start the debugger - it
sounds like you want to put this at the beginning of the function you're
debugging.  Please check the documentation for pdb
<https://docs.python.org/2/library/pdb.html>, which includes some examples.
 The "debugging in python"

article at
pythonconquerstheuniverse is also nice.
