I do all my remote debugging using wingdebugstub (and our --wing option); it works fine for debugging the main (UI) thread. John's right: if you add your own import of wingdbstub from a different thread (and don't use --wing!), you'll be debugging that thread instead of the main one.

I've heard (on the wing-users mailing list) that it's possible to debug more than one thread simultaneously by importing wingdbstub from more than one thread, with multiple instances of Wing listening on more than one port (you'd have to condition the settings in wingdbstub, or have multiple wingdbstub.py's with different settings). I've never tried this, though.

It's possible to debug a single thread by importing wingdbstub instead

the thread that first does the import, although the usefulness of this 
depends on how you're using threads in your code.

Grant figured out a way to debug Chandler threads with ActiveState
Komodo (see

and I have figured out how to do it with Eclipse and the pydev plugin
(in theory, since there is a bug that prevents me from trying it out).

It seems like it should be possible to do something similar with
WingIDE. Has anyone looked, or asked the WingIDE guys if it could be
done? It would be best to direct them to the link above.

If you ware wondering why, well, all mail code (including SSL) runs in
background that can't be debugged without these tricks, and it is likely
we'll be moving more code to background threads as well so the problem
is going to get worse if we don't find solutions.
