How to stop at in IDLE breakpoint

Question

Running Python 3.3 on Win64, I found out how to add breakpoints in IDLE 3.3 here, but when I run my module via Run > Run Module (F5), it blows right through my breakpoints. What am I missing?

Answer 1

You need to enable Debugging (check the Debug→Debugging checkbox from the Shell window). When you run the program, a dialog will show allowing you to control the execution code. If you select Go, it will keep running your program until a breakpoint is reached.
