 Debugging Pecan Applications
 ----------------------------
-TODO
+Pecan comes with a simple debugging middleware for helping track down problems 
+in your applications. To enable the debugging middleware, simply set the
+``debug`` flag to ``True`` in your configuration file::
+
+    app = {
+        ...
+        'debug': True,
+        ...
+    }
+
+Once enabled, the middleware will automatically catch exceptions raised by your
+application, and display the Python stack trace and WSGI environment in your 
+browser for easy debugging.
+
+.. figure:: debug-middleware-1.png

+
+To further aid in debugging, the middleware includes the ability to repeat the
+offending request, automatically inserting a breakpoint, and dropping your
+console into the Python debugger, ``pdb``.
