When debugging tests you frequently need to inspect response content, making a pdb. set_trace() breakpoint and printing response.content
but html isn't enough human readable (even for programmers :D) so, why not open it in your browser? Suposse you save this code in utils.py and you break your testcase as this:
response = self.client.get(self.url)
import pdb; pdb.set_trace()
Then:
(pdb) from utils import load_response_on_firefox
(pdb) load_response_on_firefox(response)
Ta-Da!
