Great screencast, but did anyone else zone out after 30 seconds because the music was so good? I had to play the screencast a second time to actually watch it.</digression>
If you prefer Rails, there is a very similar tool for Rack, called Rack::Debug: http://github.com/ddollar/rack-debug. I believe it was inspired by DDT.
Alrighty then. Using out Django Debug Toolbar has been on my list of things to start doing for a while now, but after seeing this, how could I not start immediately?
Okay, it is installed. And it is awesome. I'm a bit sad I didn't start using this before. Had similar feeling about command extensions and south when I started using them.
No, I've found that too. My fork on github [0] has the necessary patches to make the "should this be enabled" function make its decision on the basis of a GET parameter, so you can do ?toolbar-enabled=1 and ?toolbar-enabled=0 or whatever.
What value does it gain from becoming a contrib app, other than slower releases and less experimentation? I really don't understand the feeling of wanting things to go into Contrib. Hopefully soon, Russ's "No Bad Pony" talk from Djangocon this year will be online to point people to.
So instead of people in threads like this going "WTF, how did I not know about this?" ... they will be like ... "Yeah, that's in the documentations I use it everyday it's great."
