pdb is debugging 101: https://docs.python.org/3/library/pdb.html

Specifically, add this line to the code at the point where you want to start
inspecting the state of the program:

import pdb; pdb.set_trace()

Now run the test suite and when you hit the breakpoint, you can print values,
inspect object, step through calls, etc.  It may or may not help you solve the
problem, but you'll get a much better sense of what's actually going on, and
it should at least improve the quality of an upstream bug report.

Cheers,

Yes.

This exactly was my question:  Is there any advise how to inject
sensible debugging code or any other strategies to find out what might
be the problem.

I'm afraid at first I need to enhance my Python skills ...

PAPT membership request

[Filip Pytloun]

Hello,

can someone please approve my PAPT membership (already requested on
Alioth)?

Docs states that:

"Any Python Modules Packaging Team member who wishes to integrate his
packages in the team can do so without requesting access"

but I get permission denied when creating SVN repository for new package
(vdirsyncer) because I am not in python-apps group.

Maybe I don't understand correctly the "integrate packages in the team"
or that statement doesn't seem to be true?

Thank you,
Filip
