debugger in eclipse

[tusiatusia]

Hi,
I have the project, which is composed of many parts written in different languages. One part is written in Python. I would like to debug this part in eclipse, but i don't know how can i do it. I know that i can write:
import pywin.debugger
pywin.debugger. brk()
and when i run my application, it stops on the place where i put the pywin.debugger. brk() expression, but i get the ActivePython window:(
Is there any possibility to catch it in Eclipse window??

Please help me,
tusia:)

I assume you do have Python plugin for Eclipse? It's called Pydev. You should be able to run Python debugger in Eclipse. Just make sure you have the latest Eclipse to support it. I have some problem with Python file format. Other than that, it's pretty good.

Hi,
There is Python debugger in Eclipse. But i think that there is no such possibility to put the breakpoint in Eclipse, run the application from the command line and get break at the breakpoint. In Eclipse i have to choose main module to run debugger, but there is such problem that python part of my application doesn't have main module; main module is written in different language:)

The trick is to put

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # set up enough to get the module running here
    # so that you can debug it AS IF it were the main module.
