How to debug a remote python application with (Python Tools for) Visual Studio?

Question

According to http://pytools.codeplex.com/, PTVS supports "Local and remote debugging". However, I couldn't find anything related to it or.

So I'm curious if their "remote debugging" is simply attaching to a running process on the same machine or if there's some actual remote debugging support over TCP/IP available. I'd like to use PTVS for a WSGI-based web applications running on apache on another (linux) machine, but without a proper remote debugger (such as WinPDB, which is not that bad but sonmething integrated in the IDE would be better) it's not really useful...

Answer 1

Remote debugging for platforms other than Windows was not available until 2.0 alpha release, but it is possible now - see the documentation or the video tutorial for details.
