Hi,

Just installed the package Elixir to be able to follow a nice tutorial I found on the web (http://lateral.netmanagers.com.ar/stories/BBS47.html).

After running the command "setup.py install" for the Elixir package, the resulting file is called "Elixir-0.6.1-py2.6.egg" and is stored in the directory <python_installation>/Lib/site-packages.

However, while debugging an application that has the "from elixir import *" statement, I get the following error message popping up when trying to step into (not step over, because that doesn't give any problems!!!) the elixir package:

"the file build\bdist.win32\egg\elixir\__init__.py could not be opened".

I also have the same problem (but with other function names in the error message) if I want to step into (again, not step over, since that works!!!) code that calls functions from the elixir package.

Example:

The following statement:

using_options( tablename='tasks' )

is giving the error:

"The file f:\appdata\_myprogramdata\programming\python\projects\todo\build\bdist.win32\egg\elixir\statements.py could not be opened"

Well, of course that file could not be opened, since I don't have it at that location. But that file is referenced into the file "Elixir-0.6.1-py2.6.egg".

If it's not possible to step into such .egg files, would it then be possible to prevent one from stepping into functions from that kind of packages? It would make sense that F7 (step into) then would become "step over" (= F8) to prevent seeing this message.
