Question

I am looking for some way in django’s development server that will make the server to stop at any uncaught exception automatically, as it is done with pdb mode in ipython console.

I know to put import pdb; pdb.set_trace() lines into the code to make application stop. But this doesn’t help me, because the line where the exception is thrown is being called too many times. So I can’t find out the exact conditions to define a conditional break point.

Is this possible?

Thank you…

You can set sys.excepthook to a function that does import pdb; pdb.pm(), as per this recipe.
