Laravel's dd() equivalent in django

Question

I am new in Django and having a hard time figuring out how to print what an object have inside. I mean type and value of the variable with its members inside. Just like Lara

Answer 1

Raise an exception. Assuming you've got debug on you'll see the exception message. It's crude but it's helped me in the past.

Just:

 raise Exception("I want to know the value of this: " + myvariable_as_a_string)

Other answers & commenters ignored the crucial "and die" part of the dd() function, which prevents things like subsequent redirects.
