Debugging Strategies and Common Error Types in Python Programming

This resource provides a comprehensive overview of debugging techniques using Python's PDB module. It outlines essential commands like `import pdb`, `pdb.set_trace()`, and discusses common Python error types including AssertionError, EOFError, IndexError, and more. Students are encouraged to save their work and report any material-related questions to the TA. A focus on understanding these errors aids in the development of robust coding practices and enhances problem-solving skills when debugging.

  2. Homework/Quiz Questions?

  3. Before We Start • Create and remember save every code and steps you try today! • If you have any question about today’s material, email your report to TA.

  4. Outlines • PDB recap • Error messages • Debugging exercise

  5. PDB Recap • Using PDB • import pdb • pdb.set_trace() • Next, continue, quit, print, list, step in, return • Careful about overwriting variables

  6. Common Error Types • AssertionError • Raised when an assert statement fails. • EOFError • Raised when one of the built-in functions (input() or raw_input()) hits an end-of-file condition (EOF) without reading any data. • IndexError • Raised when a sequence subscript is out of range.

  7. KeyError • Raised when a mapping (dictionary) key is not found in the set of existing keys. • KeyboardInterrupt • Raised when the user hits the interrupt key (normally Control-C or Delete). • NameError • Raised when a local or global name is not found.

  8. SyntaxError • Raised when the parser encounters a syntax error. • IndentationError • Base class for syntax errors related to incorrect indentation. • TypeError • Raised when an operation or function is applied to an object of inappropriate type.

  9. Unbound Local Error • Go back and check variable names friends = friends(graph, fren) fof= fof | friends  friend = friends(graph, fren) fof= fof | friend

  10. Assertion Error? • Check output • Print • PDB • How to correctly make the user as a set? user=set(user)  user=set([user])

  11. Type Error? • Print, type • PDB • Change indentation

  12. More Errors • fof = fof.remove(user) • Keep user as a set • Keep the remove method

  13. Another Type Error • friends = friends(rj, "Mercutio")
