Hello. I work for a company that does alot of stuff with python and I was wondering what methods are better then the one I use for finding a bug in millions of lines of code. What I like to do is find out what the bug does. Let's just say that it disables your audio. So now I can feed a program a keyword! So it now excludes all files except for ones with the import sys module. Then I find out where it occurs. Let's say it's when you download a file. Then you can narrow it down to all files in the 'download' directory. Then you can run a debugger with the application to find the bug faster. If anybody thinks they have a better idea I would love to hear it!!!! Thank you!!!!

Thank you for the input. Also we have teams for different parts, but my job is mostly debugging and finding bugs in the code.

I assume all your modules have been properly stressed and tested using Python's unittest module.
There was quite a nice article in Dr.Dobb's ...
