Eclipse PyDev: setting breakpoints in site-packages source?

Up vote 4 down vote favorite 1 share g+ share fb share tw.

I am debugging a problem in Django with Pydev. I can set breakpoint in my django project code with out a problem. However I can't set breakpoints in the Django library source code (in site-packages).

The PyDev debugger user interface in this case simply does nothing when I click to set the breakpoint and does not break at that location when I run the debugger. Am I missing some PyDev configuration? In other debuggers I have used, this behavior indicates a problem relating the debug information with the source code.

Any ideas on next steps would be a help. I also have the site-packages configured in PyDev to be in my PYTHONPATH I am using Eclipse on Max OS X if that helps.

To do that you just create a new PyDev project and set it's location to the Django source folder.

I did not realize that you needed to add it as a project. I thought having it in the PYTHONPATH was good enough. Good to know.

This is timely! Eric Moritz just announced the release of an interesting new way to debug views using pdb called django-viewtools.

You might try instead the Python debugger pdb in this instance. This is a helpful link describing it: ferg.org/papers/debugging_in_python.html.

PyDev 1.5.5 seems to have an issue with Eclipse. Uninstall 1.5.5 and install the 1.5.4 version.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
