EmbeddedPythonDebugging

Project demonstrating issues related to Python.NET debugging.

To try it out:

1. Build the EmbeddedPythonDebugging project

2. Set a breakpoint inside testmodule.py

3. See that debugging can be done when starting the python Debug project

• run the bootstrap.py file from the Debug project
• notice that the breakpoint is hit

4. Show that debugging cannot be done when attaching to a running python project

• run EmbeddedPythonDebugging.exe testmodule from the Debug folder
• notice that the breakpoint is not hit

Possible solutions:

• import ptvsd and use remote debugging. I had some but limited success with this.
• attach to process while time.sleep() is called. I had some but limited success with this. Also not able to reliably reproduce
• Use ptsvd + Visual Studio Code. Again some but limited success. I was able to attach ptvsd remote debugger, but not set break points.
• PyDev - no succes with my real project, did not try on this demo version.
• PyCharm - no succes with my real project, did not try on this demo version.
