That page didn't strike me as very helpful for my case, but thanks
anyway. I'll Google for it, too, but just wondered if any of the
tutors here had any recommendations. I just checked Alan Gauld's
tutorial and I see it doesn't have a debugger section (completely
understandably, as this is sort of advanced).
I also use print statements a fair bit. I've just heard that using
a debugger is a very useful thing and I thought maybe someone would
have some tips here or knew of a good Python-relevant tutorial about it.
Thanks,
Che
