Question

I am developing my first django website.

I have written code in my view layer (the handlers that return an HttpResponse object to the view template (hope I am using the correct terminology).

In any case, I want to put print statements in my views.py file, so that I can debug it. However, it looks like stdout has been redirect to another stream, so I am not seeing anything printed out on my console (or even the browser).

What is the recommended way (best practice) for debugging django view layer scripts?

Answer 1

Use the Python logging module. Then use the Django debug toolbar, which will catch and display all the things you send to the log.
