ANN: CherryPy book

Can I suggest/request a short discussion of debugging
techniques?

When I started playing with CherryPy, and my code had a bug,
I had to
stop CherryPy, fix the code, and restart.  Doing this over
and over
again got old fast!   As I learned more about CherryPy, I
found the
solution -- but I wished I had the solution long before I
actually did.

So I think that putting this kind of information in the book
(along
with the URL for this discussion group!) would be VERY
helpful to
anyone trying to learn CherryPy.

Stephen, would you mind sharing what that solution is
exactly? That
would be great!

You sure can.

It is a good idea even though it might not become a chapter
on its own. I
will try to detail tips throughout the book.

Thanks for the feedback.

I haven't tried it myself yet, but from the Web research
I've done, I'm
pretty sure this is the answer...

The trick is to set
server.environment="development" which causes
autoreload to be enabled. This can be done in the config
file, or
programmatically: see section 1.3 in
http://www.cherrypy.org/trunk/docs/book/chunk/ch03.html
especially examples 3.7 and 3.8.

See also http://www.ch
errypy.org/wiki/AutoReload

I found the clue in this thread
http://groups.go
ogle.com/group/cherrypy-users/browse_frm/thread/ae1b498de9f2
6943/52865e3da3ab0350?lnk=st&q=cherryPy+restart&rnum
=35#52865e3da3ab0350

There appear to be cases where people have had problems with
the reload
feature.  See for example
http:/
/trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/ticket/9

I think if you google on "CherryPy restart"  or
"CherryPy autoload"
you'll find a lot of information.

Hope this helps.
