Start simple SMTP server on localhost:25 and print to standard output all email headers and the email body. Useful for debugging outgoing mail without configuring SMTP daemon in development enviroment.
You can customize the format. Also you can display variable values that support __str__ or another object-to-string method.
before this works, you'll need to satisfy all the criteria for getting debug information in your template context: Have 'django.core.context_processors.debug' in your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting (it was there in the default settings, last time I checked). Have your current IP in your INTERNAL_IPS setting. Use RequestContext when rendering the current template (if you're using a generic view, you're already using RequestContext). [Manuale Django](http://www.darioagliottone.it/django-guida/)
When debugging tests you frequently need to inspect response content, making a pdb. set_trace() breakpoint and printing response.content but html isn't enough human readable (even for programmers :D) so, why not open it in your browser? Suposse you save this code in utils.py and you break your testcase as this: response = self.client.get(self.url) import pdb; pdb.set_trace() Then: (pdb) from utils import load_response_on_firefox (pdb) load_response_on_firefox(response) Ta-Da!
1) Install django-extensions (requires werkzeug) 2) Paste snippet into settings.py 3) manage.py runserver_plus Now you should be able to open files in textmate by clicking the file links in the werkzeug error pages. It will also take you to the correct line number and highlight files that are in your project directory in a different color.
When using [django debug toolbar](https://github.com/django-debug-toolbar/django-debug-toolbar), I like to be able to turn debugging on and off without having to edit my settings file. This callback makes that possible. Add `?debug=on` to the URL to turn debugging on. It will remain on in the current session until you turn it off with `?debug=off`. Make sure your session middleware comes before your debug toolbar middleware.
Originally based on: [http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1872/](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/1872/) The way the original snippet formatted sql didn't work for mysql properly so I taught it to use the sqlparse python module. Now it looks like this when settings.DEBUG=True: SQL executed: SELECT "django_session"."session_key", "django_session"."session_data", "django_session"."expire_date" FROM "django_session" WHERE ("django_session"."session_key" = d326108d313a2e5c5fb417364b005ab9 AND "django_session"."expire_date" > 2011-04-08 14:54:13.969881) took 0.001 seconds SELECT "auth_user"."id", "auth_user"."username", "auth_user"."first_name", "auth_user"."last_name", "auth_user"."email", "auth_user"."password", "auth_user"."is_staff", "auth_user"."is_active", "auth_user"."is_superuser", "auth_user"."last_login", "auth_user"."date_joined" FROM "auth_user" WHERE "auth_user"."id" = 2 took 0.000 seconds Additionally, this middlware is enabled conditionally based upon the url query string "debug". You can enable it for a single request by appending: ?debug=true to the url.
I often insert `pdb.set_trace()` in my test cases to debug and examine behavior. When tests fail with assertions like `assertContains(response, 'Some text')`, it would be useful to see the response's contents in a browser window. This snippet does just that. Simply put this code in a python script on your `PYTHONPATH` and import/call the function when the debugger starts. Only tested on Ubuntu and you might want to change `URL_OPENER` to whatever you want to open the URLs. Simple, but hopefully useful.
ReportBug() allows you to send exception details to you, via email, but with far more detail than the default. It uses the base function for the traceback used by the Debug mode on Django. This is a first revision, so the emails have no decent styling, but it works, and shows scope on each stack. It will automatically generate a random serial number per error, so you can track them in your favourite bug tracker. It also has support for you to pass it a request variable, so the mail would also contain request/response context. Again, i'm gonna look into doing this manually in the future. Hope this helps!

This is a decorator which essentially replaces the decorated view with a view that always raises `Http404` (File Not Found) when `settings.DEBUG` is set to True.
A modified version of the original SMTP sink server: [http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/96/](http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/96/). I've added some nicer, more verbose terminal messages.
Add this code to the end of the `<body>` of your main template and it will print out all your SQL queries with timings in the Firebug console. This uses the "django.core.context_processors.debug" template context processor, which requires that DEBUG=True and that your IP address is listed in INTERNAL_IPS.
By using this simple wrapper instead of Django's default send_mail function, you gain the peace of mind of knowing that when settings.DEBUG == True, all the emails will be sent to you instead of the original recipient. Handy for testing.
Adds a hidden footer to the bottom of every text/html page containing a list of SQL queries executed, the view function that was used and all templates that were loaded. Each template path is a clickable URL of the type txmt://open/?url=file://FILENAME&line=LINENO as is the view function. This lets you open the file very quickly in TextMate which speeds up development considerably and relieves the mind of much fetching-lookup tedium. This version works on SVN 12002 (1.2 alpha) and earlier. The previous version was: http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/1033/ which got caught but some edge case in certain modules. It is based on the original by Simon http://www.djangosnippets.org/snippets/766/ To use save this as 'debug_middleware.py' somewhere on your PYTHONPATH and add 'debug_middleware.DebugFooter' to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting. - Felix (the Third) hey wouldn't it be great if you could retrieve your password on djangosnippets ? somebody should volunteer to upgrade it
Middleware class logging request time to stderr. This class can be used to measure time of request processing within Django. It can be also used to log time spent in middleware and in view itself, by putting middleware multiple times in INSTALLED_MIDDLEWARE. Static method `log_message' may be used independently of the middleware itself, outside of it, and even when middleware is not listed in INSTALLED_MIDDLEWARE.
