Where can I get pycharm-debug.egg for Idea?

I can't find pycharm-debug.egg in IntelliJ Idea (2016.2) installation directory, where can I get it?

Solution

  • It is distributed as part of PyCharm in its debug-eggs directory. On MacOS, right click PyCharm.app, Hit Show Package Content and find it in Contents/debug-eggs/

    enter image description here

    The file was also available in JetBrains/intellij-community github repository:
    https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/162.1628/python/testData/debug/pycharm-debug.egg

    Change the branch to match your version appropriately. One has to pay attention to versions since if version of the egg doesn't match the version of Idea

    Warning: wrong debugger version. Use pycharm-debugger.egg from PyCharm installation folder.

    may be printed or the debugger may even refuse connection.
