I'm assuming your
main()
function looks something like this:If not, post some example code to help determine what coudl be wrong.
If that is what your code looks like, you can debug any part of you program using IDLE (included in Python install). Once in IDLE, goto Debug-->Debugger to turn
DEBUGGING ON.
Then open your .py file, and run it (F5). You can set breakpoints by right-clicking on any line in the file, and choosing Set Breakpoint.Check this other SO question for more info and good links to alternative debuggers/IDEs:
