Run with Tilt, Debug with remote-pdb

This directory contains an example of how to wire your app for use with remote-pdb. For more information on using remote debuggers with your Tilt setup, check out our guide to Python debuggers.

To see remote-pdb in action:

1. Call tilt up from this directory
2. Hit localhost:8000; the request will hang because the app hit a breakpoint. You'll know that the debugger is live and ready for connections when you see the following in the logs:

   CRITICAL:root:RemotePdb session open at 127.0.0.1:5555, waiting for connection …
   RemotePdb session open at 127.0.0.1:5555, waiting for connection …
   

3. In a separate terminal window, open a TCP connection to localhost:5555, e.g. via Netcat: nc 127.0.0.1 5555
   • The remote-pdb guide has some other connection options, if you prefer.
4. Congrats, you've accessed the debugger! Poke around and inspect the system state. Type c(ontinue) to resume execution.
