How do I set a breakpoint in a module other than the one I am running in Python IDLE?

Question

If I edit two modules, eggs and ham, and module eggs imports ham, how do I run module eggs such that IDLE stops at breakpoints set in ham? So far, I have only been able to get IDLE to recognize breakpoints set in the module actually being run, not those being imported.

Answer 1

1. start IDLE
2. open eggs, open ham
3. set desired breakpoints in both files
4. go to IDLE's shell, select Debug=>Debugger
5. go back to eggs and to run.

You should stop at break points in each file. (It works, I just tested it.)
