Debug Django using PTVS (Python Tools for Visual Studio)

[029xue]

The easiest way to debug python - especially easy for programmers get used to Visual Studio - is using PTVS (Python Tools for Visual Studio).
The steps is simple:
1. Download and install it from http://pytools.codeplex.com/
2. Set breakpotints and press F5.
3. Your breakpoint is hit, you can view/change the variables as easy as debug C#/C++ programs.
4. That's all :)

If you want debug Django using PTVS, you need do following steps:
1. In Project settings - General tab, set "Startup File" to "manage.py", the entry point of Django program.
2. In Project settings - Debug tab, set "Script Arguments" to "runserver --noreload". The key point is the "--noreload" here. If you don't set it, your breakpoints then won't be hit.
3. Enjoy it.

最新版确实能用了，不过导入工程时会把比如一些.svn导入进去，还不知道怎么设置过滤。我现在只能手动修改.pyproj 。
有些地方还是没有pydev + eclipse爽。比如F3查找定位函数。出错定位代码。

新版本可以直接建立Python project，只会有.sln和.pyproj两个文件，还是比较简洁的。

我觉得目前最好的debugger依旧是pycharm的，可以支持多线程和多进程的代码调试
