Anyone using PyScripter to debug their Django apps?

2012-09-22 Thread Lars Ruoff
Hi, The PyScripter FAQ has an entry about how to debug Django applications: https://code.google.com/p/pyscripter/wiki/FAQ#How_can_I_debug_Django_applications? Has anybody tried this out? It doesn't work for me. I can run my Django app but it ignores my breakpoints. See my post on the PyScripter

Ok, but that said, the database isn't that big here. (Well, i guess) There are currently 4800 entries in the "Location" table. Is this too much for SQLite already? May it be the query in locations = Location.objects.filter( \ x__gte=center_location.x-half_x, \ x__lte=center_loc
