Description
When tracking down a tricky bug, tools are everything. I'll demonstrate three useful debugging tools and we'll see how we can use them to find bugs, whether they are in networking, logic, or performance.
Abstract
Stop using print statements forever! You'll learn how to use these tools: PUDB - an interactive, ncurses debugger Charles - a web debugging proxy cProfile - python's built-in profiling library RunSnakeRun and SnakeViz - Tool for visualizing profile output I'll also talk about the process of debugging and profiling, common error patterns and how to use your time most efficiently.
