django-template-breakpoint

Drop into a Python debugger from inside your Django templates.

Inspired by django-template-debug.

Installation

Install with pip:

python -m pip install django-template-breakpoint

Usage

Add the app to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...,
    "django_template_breakpoint",
    ...,
]

In a template, load the tag:

{% load breakpoint %}

Then set the breakpoint:

{% breakpoint %}

When this line is rendered by Django, sys.breakpointhook() will be called. By default, this calls pdb.set_trace().

All template variables in use are added to the current scope. If using pdb.set_trace(), you can run dir() to see the names of all template variables.

Development

There's a test! Run it with python -m pytest.
