Vagrant debugging python/django on Pycharm

Question

I'm trying to debug Django project inside Vagrant.

I did searched for the answers and read all available documentations about Vagrant, Remote debugging with Pycharm and more.

What I do have now is perfectly working "Run" command

ssh://[email protected]:2222/home/vagrant/dev-projects/OP_3.0/bin/python2.7 -u
 /home/vagrant/dev-projects/3.0/online_platform/manage.py runserver 8000

Django version 1.6.2, using settings 'local_settings'
Starting development server at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

I can access to it from HOST, and everything works just as suposed to.
But when I'm trying run a "Debug" command I have this:

ssh://[email protected]:2222/home/vagrant/dev-projects/OP_3.0/bin/python2.7 -u
 /home/vagrant/pydev/pydevd.py --multiproc --client '0.0.0.0' --port 34117 --file /home/vagrant/dev-projects/3.0/online_platform/manage.py runserver 8000

Any real help, please...

If you

1. Let your PyCharm project configuration know about the project's vagrant box
2. Set up a remote interpreter of type Vagrant referencing the right python executable within the vagrant box
3. Use that remote interpreter as your project's python interpreter

then you shouldn't have to fuss around with ssh and with debugger command lines yourself anymore. Just tell PyCharm what you want to debug as if it were a local process. (Might work even better if you also let PyCharm know that it's dealing with a Django project.)
