Its almost impossible to say since we don;t know what you re doing in your tests script. Assuming you just call it using subprocess or similar then its next to impossible since you are launching another process. The best bet in that case is to insert print statements but that then modifies the code which is not ideal in a test environment.

So in Eclipse, on the run_parallel_tests.py, I have the "Debug
Configurations" > Arguments tab with:
clickurl.py browsers.json

but when adding a breakpoint to the clickurl.py it doesn't work???

Breakpoints will only work in the process you are running in the IDE.
We would need to see how the test script works to advise further. There are several options, none of them particularly easy.

If you want to debug clickurl.py it would be better to work on it directly and just use the tests script to identify the need to
debug it.
