The problem with web2py is the built in internal server. Since it executes itself on a completely separate thread, there is no way (that I know currently) to connect a debugger to it.
I have ran into this problem with all of the python frameworks I have tried (Django, Flask, Pylons, web2py) all suffer from not being able to step through your code in a debugger. -- Thadeus On Tue, Dec 14, 2010 at 1:21 PM, Lorin Rivers <lriv...@mosasaur.com> wrote: > I couldn't get NetBeans to debug my web2py code.
