    <p>There are a bunch of ways to do it, but the most straightforward is to simply use the <a href="https://docs.python.org/2/library/pdb.html" rel="noreferrer">Python debugger</a>. Just add following line in to a Django view function:</p> <pre><code>import pdb; pdb.set_trace() </code></pre> <p>If you try to load that page in your browser, the browser will hang and you get a prompt to carry on debugging on actual executing code.</p> <p>However there are other options (I am not recommending them):</p> <pre><code>* return HttpResponse({variable to inspect}) * print {variable to inspect} * raise Exception({variable to inspect}) </code></pre> <p>But the Python Debugger (pdb) is highly recommended for all types of Python code. If you are already into pdb, you'd also want to have a look at <a href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ipdb/" rel="noreferrer"><strong>IPDB</strong></a> that uses <a href="http://ipython.org/" rel="noreferrer"><strong>ipython</strong></a> for debugging.</p> <p>Some more useful extension to pdb are</p> <p><a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pdbpp/" rel="noreferrer"><strong>pdb++</strong></a>, suggested by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/5792269/antash">Antash</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pudb" rel="noreferrer"><strong>pudb</strong></a>, suggested by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/5081188/patdujour">PatDuJour</a>.</p> <p><a href="https://mike.tig.as/blog/2010/09/14/pdb/" rel="noreferrer"><strong>Using the Python debugger in Django</strong></a>, suggested by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/884640/seafangs">Seafangs</a>.</p>

    1. CO+1 for suggesting pdb. However it's worth noting that this only really works when using the development server on your local machine, as the prompt will appear in the console.

    2. COSee also [django-pdb](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-pdb) as per my answer below. Gives you `manage.py runserver --pdb` and `manage.py test --pdb` commands.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
