Debug Python the right way
Stop scattering print() statements to figure out what your code is doing. In this video, I debug a real Python error — a KeyError from inconsistent gNMI response data — using the VS Code debugger instead of print(). I walk through breakpoints, the variables panel, watch expressions, the debug console, conditional breakpoints, and logpoints, all while solving a real bug in a script that talks to an IOS-XR device on the free Cisco DevNet Always-On Sandbox.
