Mastering Python

Summary

This chapter explained a few different debugging techniques and gotchas. There is, of course, much more that can be said about debugging, but I hope you have acquired a nice vantage point for debugging your Python code now. Interactive debugging techniques are very useful for single-threaded applications and locations where interactive sessions are available. But since that's not always the case, we also discussed some non-interactive options.

Here's an overview of all the points discussed in this chapter:

• Non-interactive debugging using:
  • print
  • logging
  • trace
  • traceback
  • asyncio
  • faulthandler
• Interactive debugging using both pdb and ipdb

In the next chapter, we will see how to monitor and improve both CPU and memory performance, as well as finding and ...
