[Pydev-code] Pydev remote debugging and threads

[Escalona, D. <Die...@di...>]

Hello all,

I'm working with Pydev's Remote Debugger and Eclipse and I have a problem with multi-thread Python applications. The remote debugger only traces the MainThread and the breakpoints it has, but if I try to add a breakpoint to a different thread it doesn't stop.

I've written a simple piece of code to test it:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import threading
import time
import pydevd
pydevd.settrace('10.101.1.193', suspend=False)

class myThread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)

    def run(self):
        i = 10
        while i > 0:
            print "hello ", i
            i = i - 1
            time.sleep(2)

my_thread = myThread("hello!")
my_thread.start()

for i in range(10):
    print "bye ", i
    time.sleep(5)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


If I put a breakpoint on the "print hello" line and another one on the "print bye" line, the debugger only stops on the "print bye" line, which belongs to the main thread.

How could I make the debugger to trace the new thread and stop on its breakpoints?

Kind regards.
