pdb question

[tac-tics]

In the Python debugger (pdb), how do you designate breakpoints at the
start of methods?
I've tried:
break methodName
break class.methodName
break object.methodName

but none of these seem to work. What is the trick?

define "seem to work".

the "className.methodName" and "object.methodName" forms seem to work
just fine to me (assuming that the class or object has been defined, of
course).

if nothing else works, you can use the line or file:line syntax.

Strange. It seems to be working just fine now. Maybe I wasn't waiting
for all the symbols to be defined before setting my breakpoint.
