Re: how to debug restful django apps?

Do you have access to the Django app? Can you set settings.DEBUG =
True to get the full traceback? If you set the ADMINS tuple in the
settings you also can get an email with the traceback when DEBUG =
False. The email backend can also be configured with the
EMAIL_BACKENDS setting, so you can, for example, write to a log file
instead [1].

Hope this helps,
-Roberto.
