Hi Alexandru, because I know that you are multi-platform, I can recommend the debugger integration of PTVS very much.
I am currently using the WingWare debugger for all my projects, but the Python/C++ integration of PTVS is something that I didn't find anywhere else! Please have a look at the following introduction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNNAOypc6Ek Starting with minute 22, you will find the kind of debugging that you are looking for. I was pretty amazed by this, and it is probably very helpful in debugging Qt and PySide. Will give it a try, soon.
