Okay, I understand. So the debugging with WinPDB is not possible because
the Windows installation provides the Python runtime in this
(admittedly) very elegant way.

I proprose to update https://sigrok.org/wiki/Protocol_decoder_HOWTO to
emphazise debugging is only possible with the complete development
enviroment. The current phrase

 * To debug the Python implementation of a decoder during development

does not show that it is not related to my decoder's development, but
sigrok.

I will give a Linux installation a try. But reading the decoder's
documentation whose data I want to parse was also helpful.
