​Well, doing pydevd.settrace() adds a programatic breakpoint, so, it should
always work... as for why it doesn't work, on some situations Python itself
kills the debugging (for instance, if you have a StackOverflowError
anywhere, even if treated, it'll break the debugger), and I know it can
have some issues on some frameworks... Can you give more details on your
code? Do you have some code you can share where I can reproduce the issue?
