All I can offer is that if you are doing test-driven development,
or writing unit tests for your code, you will very quickly 
catch this kind of problem and it will largely cease to be a
big issue for you.  Not only that, but you'll probably find 
yourself cured of the root problem fairly soon.

Python is an *excellent* language for agile methods, including
test-driven development.  Check the archives for various threads
on the topic of unit-testing with Python.
